Steps to reproduce

2. Log in to a Facebook account with 2FA authentication enabled
3. Log in to Messenger on Ferdium

Expected Behavior

When you click continue, Ferdium's browser continues to the next Messenger 2FA step, rather than opening an external Windows browser.

Actual Behavior

It will open a browser outside of windows and not continue in Ferdium messenger

Additional Information

When logging into Facebook's messenger service and that Facebook account has two-factor authentication enabled, the message "Please verify your Facebook account" will appear and when you click Continue, Ferdium will automatically open a browser. The computer's default is to authenticate Messenger and does not continue to use Ferdium's Messenger for authentication.

I'm seeing this issue too, with recent ferdium, on arch linux, mostly up to date.

Same problem on a fresh install. Windows 11 Pro, latest Ferdium.

Problem the continue link opens in a fresh browser window and not within Ferdium.

FIX: Ferdium settings for FB Messenger -> open links in ferdium. Once logged in change back the settings

It started to do that for me too. Sometimes when I launch Ferdium, Messenger will ask for verify procedure by getting a code by email. The procedure can’t complete unless I have "open links in Ferdium" checked.

The URL that is opened outside Ferdium, but should be opened inside, is of the form https://www.facebook.com/checkpoint/start/?ip={MY_PUBLIC_IP}&cookie={SOME_CODE}&next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.messenger.com%2F&hash={A_HASH}

and then gets redirected to https://www.facebook.com/checkpoint/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.messenger.com%2F

add me to the list :) works great on Linux, but I have become tired of the niggly little things happening, the last was that I could not mark files, or use the copy/past and other shortcuts it just does not happen in windows, sigh I have tried over the years and will revisit one day but for now just want something that works and works ALL the time !!

You gotta change the service tab as "open URLs within Ferdium", restart ferdium and there you go.
