Facebook connection not working?

[Chris1701a]

I'm brand new to Spotify and I joined at a friends suggestion; I created a Spotify account and then attempted to use "Find People" to locate my friend who wants to send me song suggestions but I couldn't find her. Then I realized that I probably needed to connect to Facebook in order to do that. So as per instructions I located here I went to Edit / Preferences / Social Network and clicked "Connect to Facebook" and filled out the login information and checked "Keep me logged in" and clicked Log In and a tab opens up in Firefox blank except for the word "Ok" and the Spotify Facebook login window becomes blank (all white) and if I close the window it seems like I'm still not connected.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and how I can properly connect to Facebook?

Hi, and welcome to the community!

What OS/Spotify version are you running?

Have you tried a quick Clean reinstallation of Spotify?

Hi Anthony:

I'm using Windows 7 x64 SP1 and I just downloaded and installed Spotify a couple days ago and it says it's version 0.9.10.14.g578d350b; since I just installed it a couple days ago it would never occur to me to need to uninstall and reinstall just to fix this problem. But I just tried that and the exact same thing as I described in my inital message happened i.e. a tab opened in FireFox, blank except for the word "Ok" and the Facebook login window in Spotify is white and blank:

and apparently I'm still not logged into Facebook nor can I find the friend I'm looking for.

Idea's?

Have you tried connecting to Facebook using the manual option on the right of your online overview page?
https://www.spotify.com/account/overview/

(Then log out and back into the Spotify app)

Hi Peter:

No, I did not see that as I was concentrating more on the Spotify program than the website; once I selected that I was able to see my Facebook friends so I think that solves the problem.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I am having the exact same problem connecting with Facebook. I attempted to log on with Facebook on the Online overview page but it simply told me that I already had an account registered with my email. Any suggestions?

Having same issue - when I select Connect to Facebook from File menu it just gives me "OK" in the browser window and does nothing.  Attempts to login through facebook through the spotify website fail.

I have almost the same problem. I had spotify premium and connected profile with facebook. Then one day i log in with my facebook account and my premium is gone and also all my playlists. Then i logged out and tried to log in with my spotify username and it worked and all my playlists and premium was back but my connection to facebook dissapered so I tried to connect it again but it was also just a white screen with "OK". I can still see what my friends are listening to tho but i'm still not connected to facebook. What can I do?
