Facebook Support completely broken in 1.1.7.24

Hi there,
since the update to 1.7.x.x im completely unable to use Facebook anymore.
A friend of mine who never used Facebook before installed the Facebook App and tried to reproduce it with success --> identical error. So i consider this an bug.
The App was installed using Aptoide (as the Amazon App-Store App crashes when trying to install Facebook)
I tried installing it from the Jolla Stora as from the Aptoide Store (Apps).
The App itself kinda works, you can read the newsfeed, comment and like.
But it crashes sometimes when you share and 99% of the time if you try to write an Status update or upload an Image.
When you click on the section for Status updates (the qustion from Facebook "How are you doing today?") it freezes for 3-5 seconds and just Closes.
If you try to upload an photo, you get to choose with photo to upload. As soon you decided what photos to upload (where you get an overview of your photos and are capable of writing an Status update), it Closes again after the 3-5 seconds freeze.
The same happens with the "Share" button, but not as often.
As the Native Facebook Application "Friends" is completely broken since months and using Facebook with the Browser (no matter if i use the "Native" browser or WebPirate) i often end up getting "This Page could not be displayed". But not from the Browser, from Facebook itself (Problem with Facebooks Mobile page?!?)
But anyway, there is right now no (Android App, SailfishOS App) to no stable (Browser) way to Access Facebook using an Jolla, i consider the Facebook Support for Jolla, right now, as non-existend.
If this is true on majority of devices, I hope Jolla puts this release candidate on ice. Thanks for sharing! By the way, I edited the version number in your topic to correct

Pornis ( 2015-07-21 21:48:22 +0300 )editI think the Problems are not related to the browser but to facebooks mobile web-Interface itself. This is no Bug for Jolla, but it hinders on using Facebook with Jolla.
The same Problems exists on Windows Phones or Androids (using the Webinterface).
One example is when People link pages in comments or Posts and you try to open them. they often end up in Errors not being able to open them.

When i click on 今なにしてる？ it crashes after the 3-seconds freeze. My friend uses his Jolla in German so i dont consider this language related.
