Hi there,

Has anybody noticed that Facebook have made a sneaky change to preferred browser settings recently?
Previously, the media setting to ensure that all web links opened in your preferred external browser, was just a checkbox in settings. Now that checkbox only ensures that url's received in messages open in your preferred external browser. If you click on a link on a page that you follow, it will open in Facebook's own browser. If you want to open the page in an external browser, you have you to manually go into the Facebook browser options after the page has loaded in the Facebook browser and select external browser.
