The same problem is happening to me right now on ubuntu 13.04 x64, only with facebook. Google account does the same (it redirects twice to the browser) but it works at least. With facebook, this is not the case :(

Then, no matter if my default browser is set to Chromium or Firefox, it opens in an external browser window. I log in, it says "success" but the System Settings window does not recognize this and I am unable to complete the account setup. This works for other online accounts, but not Facebook.
