1. Open Facebook native app 
2. Look through newsfeed

4. Use Aurora to open link
4. Arrive at web page from Facebook that says "Please be careful, for the safety and privacy of your Facebook account....only download software from sites you trust"

WFM, unable to reproduce. Nightly/Aurora (05/15). Office WiFi issue?

Jaclyn, can you show me this tomorrow if you have a moment?

Unfortunately, I didn't go to the office today.  If you could show me in person when we're both in the SFO that would be great.

Which device do you have?  I get the feeling that this might also have something to do with a privacy setting in the Facebook app as well (please don't change your settings as I would like to see this).  It does work for me for what it's worth.

Will be in SFO tomorrow and Friday

I believe that it has something to do something some setting that was set within the profile such as a cookie or some possible corruption?

Details of investigation:
- After taking a look at her device and trying it out, I did see her issue.  It went to http://m.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FLaSfwa&h=CAQGBKyX- as a url, which then took her to another page stating that the webpage within facebook that stated the page could not load.

- We tested it out on Beta from opening a link in Facebook app and it worked

- We cleared the data using settings -> applications -> aurora -> clear data and then tried opening a link from facebook app and then the page did load

- I asked Jaclyn to keep an eye out for this if it happens again

Note: she mentioned that she had kept updating aurora since she first started using aurora.
