facebook window

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Why does it open a window when I send my first message to facebook?
This can not be avoided?

It has to authenticate with facebook first. If you are already logged on to 
facebook then you see only this message. If it does it only on your first 
message to facebook it is the expected behaviour. If it does it every time then 
it is a problem. What is your case? Does it happen on the first message, every 
time you start firefox ?

Every time I start firefox.
I don't understand this behavior, other plugins doesn't.
firestatus is already authorized to access facebook. Why is it necessary this 
authentication additional!?

Ok. It is probably some kind of bug. It would be helpful if you could send me 
some firefox configuration. Enter 'about:config' in the address bar, type 
firestatus in the filter and send me everything (as a screenshot or whatever 
suits you).

I don't sure about this problem. The facebook documentation is confuse to me 
and I haven't any experience with social apps. But I think one possible 
solution is to request the offline_access permission:
"....In addition to the access token (the access_token parameter), the response 
contains the number of seconds until the token expires (the expires parameter). 
Once the token expires, you will need to re-run the steps above to generate a 
new code and access_token, although if the user has already authorized your 
app, they will not be prompted to do so again. If your app needs an access 
token with an infinite expiry time (perhaps to take actions on the user's 
behalf after they are not using your app), you can request the offline_access 
permission." (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/)

Don't you think?
