Bug Description

When I click on "Facebook" in online accounts, it starts to load the page inside the System Settings window. Then it opens in an external browser window. I log in, it says "success" but the System Settings window does not recognize this and I am unable to complete the account setup. This works for other online accounts, but not Facebook.

After this occurs any time I try to open Online Accounts, the window open and then closes within a second or so. I have to log out of the session than log back in in order to be able to access online accounts.

I tried removing previous authorizations on Facebook's side, tried removing/re-adding "Online Accounts" from the Software Center but no luck.

Currently using 13.04 x 64 with ALL updates applied.

I see on a previous bug report it states a fix has been released but as I mentioned .. system is up to date and clean with this occurring.
