Bug Description

Since possibly last week I have had failures to authenticate to facebook. Previously when I open the Online Accounts dialogue and choose to grant access it would authenticate within the Online Accounts dialogue, but now it opens a browser window in my default browser, and when I enter the information I then get redirected to a page that tells me it's completed okay, but that I should treat the URL as I would a sensitive password. I am also not logged into facebook following this. I'm also seeing frequent crash reports for signon-ui being submitted.
