Description info 2015-08-26 17:03:36 UTC 
When trying to log into facebook via the online-accounts settings in the gnome settings menu, the dialog responses after entering username/password that cookies are disabled and need to be activated in order to use facebook.

I can't reproduce it. Is this is reliably reproducable? Or was it a one-off occurrence?

Did you disable cookies on your system? I don't know how one would do that for a WebKitWebView without editing the code.

Sorry for my late answer. Yes, I can reproduce it every time I try connecting to facebook. The bug occurred on two systems (GNOME 3.16.3 on archlinux) just right after installation, so I changed no settings that have to do with cookies. Also, I haven't found any.

Can you connect to Facebook using Epiphany?

Thanks to Michael Catanzaro, I think I know what is going on. I assume the failure you are seeing is the same as the attached screenshot.
