Adding the design team: I was wondering if we could handle these errors
in a more flexible way, by asking the user whether he wants to continue
with the unsecure authentication or cancel (similarly to what browsers
do).
Maybe before redirecting the user to an unsecure page we could show a
simple page with some explanatory text ("You are about to access a web
site through an unsecure connection; any information you will enter
through these pages might be stolen by a malicious user") and a
"Continue" button. A "Cancel" button might not be necessary since we
already have it on top of the web frame.

Title:
Opening facebook "Success" page in external browser
Status in Ayatana Design:
New
Status in Online Accounts: GNOME Control Center:
New
Status in “gnome-control-center-signon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I suppose these are the same symptoms as bug #1132030. Don't know
about the cause though - a lot of refactoring seems to have happened
since then.
My FB authentication token has expired. Now, at a regular interval,
UOA is opening a webpage
(https://www.facebook.com/connect/blank.html#_=_) in Firefox. It says
"Success
SECURITY WARNING: Please treat the URL above as you would your password and
do not share it with anyone.)"
The issue is also reproducable when attempting to add a new Facebook
account.
1. Open Online Accounts
2. Click "Add account…"
3. Select "Facebook"
4. Observe that a window opens in the external browser, as above
