Can't authorise facebook account in "Online Accounts"

[Paweł Ciechomski]

When I'm trying to authorise my facebook account in Online Accounts this app opens new window in which I normally enter email and password, but now this window stays blank and firefox starts and opens blank facebook tab with text: "Success!"

I have the same problem on my Ubuntu 12.10. It was working fine till the last Ubuntu update one or two weeks ago (I suppose).
I tried to remove Facebook account and recreate it, but it's still opening the browser and showing the 'Success' message.

same here... still not fixed. Online accounts unusable
