Facebook Container doesn't work with new Export Photos to Google Photos function #651

I realize that this is expected behavior, but it would be great if we could somehow tell the user why it's broke (maybe posting a message on this page - https://www.facebook.com/dtp)

The new "Transfer photos to Google" features requires that you auth with Google and then go back to Facebook. Unfortunately because the Google Auth happens in a separate container, Facebook never knows about it. Even worse, the flow looks like it works, just never get the "Complete Transfer" button.

So it just appears broke in Firefox.

@mkaply Good looking out. You're correct – All OAuth handshakes break between containers. You'll need to add Google to the Facebook Container for this to work correctly. We'll leave this issue up for other users.
