My previous comment resulted in the Add/Cancel buttons appearing: it seems that Gwibber isn't recognising the calls Facebook makes when Gwibber is already authorised by Facebook.

To remove Gwibber from your authorised Facebook applications, log in to Facebook in a web-browser, click the, "Account" menu button in the top-right and click, "Application Settings". In the Application Settings page, click the, "Show:" drop-down menu and select, "Granted application permissions". Then, in all categories where Gwibber appears, click the crosses to remove all permissions from Gwibber.

Open Gwibber and select, "Accounts" from the, "Edit" menu. Click the, "Add" button, select Facebook, then click, "Authorise". It will take you to the Facebook authorisation page within that window. Type in your user-name and password, then click, "Log in". This will then bring you to another Facebook page within that window, detailing the permissions you are about to grant Gwibber. Click, "Allow", and the process is complete: the, "Authorise" button and the text label to its right will disappear and be replaced with, "[Your Name] has been authorised by Facebook".

I should also add, after the first authorisation to Facebook by Gwibber version 2.30.2, removing the account, quitting Gwibber and opening it again, then adding the Facebook account and authorising in a standard way DOES NOT produce this bug. However, authorising Facebook in Gwibber 2.30.1 or earlier, then trying to authorise in Gwibber 2.30.2 DOES reproduce this bug.
