Facebook app: Open links in external browser
There is a particular problem with Facebook’s in-app browser periodically sending requests to websites without previously set cookies. This appears to be a browser bug that should be fixed soon.

This can be done using the following steps:
1. Open the settings menu by clicking the hamburger menu in the top right corner.
2. Select “Application Settings” from the menu.
3. Enable the “Links are opened externally” option (this will use the device’s default browser).
