Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

I am in the UAE but do not speak Arabic. When I try to add my Facebook account it automatically brings me to some arabic page which I cannot read, thus I cannot link gwibber to facebook.

Should direct to site based on user language OR just open default browser so I can translate the page

I understand this is due to Facebook.com detecting my location, not your app, directing to wrong URL.

But there needs to be a way to get around this or like I said just open default browser instead of little browser window within gwibber
