When I log into facebook it takes me to the https version and not http. the https version is secure and when you play a game it will ask if you want to termporarily turn the secure feature off. When I do I consistantly get a message that says they (I don't know if it is you or facebook, but it's a firefox message) cannot do this as it was being directed in such a manner that it would not complete. I have to go back to the main facebook page and redo whatever many times before it will do it correctly. Once I get into the http end, as long as I do not log off facebook, I won't have the issue. But, if I logout of facebook, I have to go through the process repeatedly. I wish I could get my acct back to http and not https, but facebook's help is useless.
