Windows 8.1 breaks Facebook Messenger


Recommended Posts

Opening the app launches several pages in my browser that look the same as the app itself, re-installing hasn't fixed this problem. After closing them the app works fine, but its just strange.

I had to run facebook.com in compatibility mode. It appears LOTS of sites see the IE11 user agent string and determine you are running an old/outdated browser, when in reality, the website isn't designed to detect IE11 user agent strings. This is what was happening to google.com earlier last week too I believe, except Google fixed this, and Microsoft hadn't updated their compatibility lists yet.
