That recent DSi update that brought Facebook to Japanese DSi handhelds also brought something else: software to combat R4-type piracy devices. Back in November of last year, it seemed as though R4 cartridges would not work in the then new DSi units. However, by May of this year, dedicated DSi piracy devices had hit the streets. Multip R4-type DSi-dedicated devices began appearing as well, making it possible to load downloaded games on to the DSi.

This latest DSi update seems to have once again nixed piracy devices for the DSi. According to one Japanese site, the update makes it impossible to use the following cartridges: DSTTi, Hyper R4i, ak2i, R4 Ui, R4i Gold, EZ Vi.

Probably get circumvented, but it shows they are finding ways to block them...

Does FaceBook fully work on the DSi browser now?

Assumeably nothing, although they'll probably want you to update if you're gaming online.
