Lightroom :: 3.2 - Authorizing Facebook Publish Service

I'm using Windows 7/32 + LR 3.2 + FF as my default browser
 
For the last several days I've been trying to get the Facebook Publish Service authorized against my facebook account without sucess.  Facebook would add the lightroom application to my list of approved applications, but LR would not recognize that the auhorization was sucessfull after I clicked the "Allow" button in Facebook.  I tried this with Firefox, Chrome, and IE and all three browsers failed.  Firefox threw an error about the (lightroom) protocol being unknown and then redirected to my Facebook Wall.  IE would simply say that it could not open the web page.  And Chrome did something similar but I cannot remember the details (I think it redirected too). In all cases LR would report that the Facebook Publish Service was not authorized.  I tried reinstalling LR several times and I tried adding the lightroom protocol to FF and associating it with LR but to no avail.  Finally I stumbled upon a process that worked for me.
 
If this is the error you are seeing, then the procedure below should allow you to get properly authorized in LR:
 
If you already tried and failed to authorize then go into you Facebook Application Settings (Account --> Application Settings) and remove/deauthorize the LR application (using whatever browser you like to do this).Make IE your default browser.  This is just temporary, unless you like it like that.  You have to use IE, FF won't work and since IE worked here I didn't try Chrome.  When LR opens the browser to authenticate you it needs to open IE, not FFOpen LR and click the "Set Up..." link for Facebook Publish Service.  Then click the "Authorize on Facebook" button.  When IE opens log into FB if your not already, then click the Allow button to authorize LR.If your having the same problem I did then IE will immediately throw up an error saying that it couldn't open the requested page.  Look at the URL in the address bar.  It should begin with "lightroom://...".  Select and copy the entire URL to you clipboard.Go back to LR and click the "Done" button. This will return you to the Facebook Publish Service Setup Dialog and you should see that you are still not authorized. Dang!But you'll notice that the "not authorized" label is not a hyperlink.  Click it.  This will open a dialog prompting you for the authorization URL.  Paste the URL you copied from IE into this box and click OK.You should now be authorized.You can now restore you prefferred default browser.
