What is the browser you're using? Here are the ONLY compatible browsers for Facebook:

1. Mozilla Firefox
2. Google Chrome
3. Apple Safari
4. Microsoft Internet Explorer

So it's better to use those web browsers for you to be able to use Facebook.

This is the second reference I've seen today about not being able to access Facebook. Try logging into the "non"-secure site, http://www.facebook.com. If that works, then try the secure version, https://www.facebook.com.

Also, test your ability to log in with other browsers, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer. That way, you will have a means to evaluate the cause of the problem.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks ~Jim :-)

Hi, If the page is not coming up, you can try to reset the IE settings to default settings or using another type of browser like Firefox or Google chrome. To reset the setting on Internet Explorer: - click on tools on the upper right - click on internet options - click on advanced tab - click on reset button For Google Chrome: - just delete the following folders - For Windows XPC:\\Documents and Settings\\UserName\\Local Settings\\Application Data\\Google\\Chrome\\Application
For Windows Vista or later
C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application For Firefox: you can try to use Firefox in Safemode - a box will appear to ask you what you need to do with Firefox. - then you will asked to restart Firefox again.
Now all the browsers are restored to default, you can now try to log on to Facebook again.
Thank you for using Fixya,

You can download the latest Internet Explorer from Microsoft's website.(http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/products/ie/home)

You can only upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 unless you have Windows 7 as your operating system.
Personally, I would suggest using a different browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Both of these browsers are more secure and faster than Internet Explorer and should allow you to chat on Facebook. Here are the respective links:
Firefox: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/
Chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/landing_chrome.html?hl=en
I hope this helps!

go and install firefox browser. it's much better than IE .

Hello and Welcome to Fixya,
Try to clear the cookies and internet temporary files. Here are the step by step instructions Open Internet Explorer. Click "Tools". Click "Internet options". Click "Delete cookies" and press Ok. Click "Delete Files" and press Ok.
Restart the browser and check, if problem persists I would recommend you to try other browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Google chrome.
Here are the Links:

Mozilla Firefox:


Google Chrome:


They are quite efficient and bugs free.
Best of Luck,
Concerned.

close all internet explorer windows and open a new one. go to tools->internet options and click delete.
on the new screen select cookies, passwords and click delete.
try visiting facebook again

Try alternative browsers. If Internet Explorer doesn't work, try Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

Cheers.

Try using a different browser, it's a pain to switch from a browser you've been using for a while, but since IE is known as one of the slowest browsers, it might be a relief. Try Safari, Firefox or Chrome.
Hope this helps!
