It's all about the user agent string.

Not that the "working" string is ideal; it just happened to be one I tried and which worked. I'll try to figure out which part(s) of it that matches Facebook's somewhat flaky user agent string detection "algorithm".
Erling, have you considered the Blender add-on for Firefox? Mozilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/blender-1/ Github: https://github.com/meh/blender
From the README:
"This addon sets various preferences to fake to be the most common. It fakes: * the operating system to be Windows 7 64-bit * Firefox to be version 35 * the language to be English * the accepted charsets to be unspecified" I do believe you can override the language spoofing. No noticable problems here on my *BSD and Linux boxes. -Brendan
