why can't I sign into a website with my facebook account?
I used to be able to sign into a website by clicking on the "Sign in with Facebook Account" but now when I try to do that nothing happens... if I try to sign in using my google account it will do it. I want the site I am using to be able to sign in with my facebook account. Could you please help, I have no idea why I can sign in with my facebook account. I have tried numerous things including deleting some add-on's in firefox but that didn't seem to help either.
Thank you kindly for your time NJB
