If you're affected by this logging out of Facebook stops the redirect happening.
Tell that to the millions of users who are just going to blame this on the sites that it's happening to. What a clusterfuck.
Facebook Connect was down

Re: Facebook Connect was down
#12Not only is it down, but it's redirecting everyone who visits a site with FB Connect on it to this error page. For example: http://www.economist.com
Yes hehehe. Someone will be fired today. :(
Re: Facebook Connect was down
#13As pointed out in the previous post, you should not rely 100% on Facebook as your Auth gateway. You should have an alternative for your users to login in case of something like this happens.
This breaks people who have all kinds of other login options. For my site we had to actually exclude the FB JS from our site to prevent the redirect.

#14Should we be surprised?
Facebook Connect was deprecated in 2010

Re: Facebook Connect was down
#15Seems fixed now.
Re: Facebook Connect was down
#16It's been fixed. The status page doesn't mention the blip though: http://developers.facebook.com/live_status/
Re: Facebook Connect was down
#17Seems to be not redirecting anymore, but it definitely was for a while.
Re: Facebook Connect was down
#18Works for me. I just signed into two separate sites with FB Connect.
Re: Facebook Connect was down
#19Does this only affect those logged in to Facebook? I quit Facebook for a year so I'm not sure whether it is fixed or whether I was just not bothered by it at all
Re: Facebook Connect was down
#20Appears to be "fixed" now. Economist.com no longer redirects. FB's own developer pages (https://developers.facebook.com/roadmap/) used to manifest this too, and no longer do.
