Bug Description

A regression of bug #1132030

When I click on "Facebook" in online accounts, it starts to load the page inside the System Settings window. Then, no matter if my default browser is set to Chromium or Firefox, 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.

If it was set up before, I was getting my browser opened every few minutes with the same URI.
