It might be because:

• you might have cleared cookies. If you had deleted cookies or temporary internet setting or cleared history,then you need to login again in Facebook. Facebook, as far as i guess, uses cookies to track your login status. This cookie settings will be removed from your hard disk when you delete cookies using tools options of the browser. Then the site assumes you don't have set cookies,which in turn is the signal that says 'You have logged out'.
  
• you would have opened several tabs and would have used facebook in more than one tab. If you had logged off from Facebook in one tab and proceed to other tab,then the message you said appears. You have to login again also.

Cheers!!

Do you have more than one browser on the affected computer? If so , try in the other browser (If not I suggest you get Firefox at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Probably the most common cause of your type of problem is a corrupted temp page or cookie.
So in IE go to tools/ internet options/ general / temp internet files
Click delete files / delete all offline content.
For the cookies , if you do not have any customized sites, click on delete cookies. Otherwise, click on settings/ view files and delete the cookie for that site.
If you have used auto complete to log in , it is possible that the auto complete became corrupted. Unfortunately in IE you cannot just edit specific sites as you can in Firefox.
Go to tools / internet options/ content/ personal information/ auto complete /
Click on clear passwords.

Please rate me if this solution works for you

Thanks......Have a great time.

You may have to delete cookies on your browser.
On Internet Explorer, click on Tools> Internet Options> Delete Files under Temporary Internet Files. You'll get a prompt to Delete Cookies as well.

Or, if you're login as an administrator on your PC, you can just go to C:\Documents and Settings\User\Cookies, then delete all cookies.

Deleting my facebook cookies worked for me (Firefox 3.5.7)

Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> click the remove individual cookies link, type facebook in the search box, then remove all cookies that match. Then reload facebook, you'll be logged out but log in and should be fine

all u have to do is delete your file and make a new 1, wich includes,new nickname and new password
