I've read others having this problem, but never a fix.
Almost everytime I go to it, I'm not logged in. I'll be in the middle of typing a message, and then BAM! I'm logged out.
What can I do?!

Log out from Facebook. You can do this by clicking the downward facing arrow to the right of Home top right side of the Facebook window.
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Empty Cache
Now back to the menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab then click Details.
Type facebook in the search field then click Remove All > Done
Quit then relaunch Safari and go to Facebook.
You should see this:
Enter your username and password and make sure to select: Keep me logged in then click Log In.

Won't it log me out of everything, ever? And remove all my saved passwords, though?
No. And your passwords aren't saved in Facebook, there are stored in Keychain Access located in HD > Applications > Utilities.
I orignally accidentally just did remove, instead of remove all. Then I went back to Facebook, to get it back in the fields, and closed it. Then did a remove all. I shall see how it worked out, and get back to you. Thanks.
Keep us posted 🙂
You're welcome Mark 🙂
Oh no, Carolyn! It seemed to just have happened randomly... not sure if it will continue. If it does, what should I do?
Thanks,
Mark
Try this...
From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If you still encounter problems on Facebook, try using a different browser such as Google Chromeor Mozilla Firefox
Always good to have a backup browser installed regardless in case you can't use Safari.
Is there not some sort of cookie, or something, I could delete in Finder, somewhere?
I've been using Firefox, but Safari is much faster, for me.
Removing All Website Data clears the cookies 🙂 See my previous post.
Fair enough. I'll let you know if I have to go to that. Thanks.
Ok ...
Something else you can do is login to Facebook then click the downward facing black arrow to the right of Help top right corner of the window.
Then click Help > Report a Problem
May not just be Safari causing the problem.
