Public bug reported:

For the last few days, I've noticed a page suddenly appear in my browser
on the facebook domain (happens every few hours).  The page is on a
simple white background with the following text:

Success 
SECURITY WARNING: Please treat the URL above as you would your password and do 
not share it with anyone.

The URL looks like this: https://www.facebook.com/connect/...

Last time, it happened at the same time that signon-ui told me that I'd
been logged out of google so I thought, maybe signon-ui is renewing its
login on all my accounts and that's somehow triggering the facebook
page.

To verify that, I opened signon-ui and went to the facebook account.  As
soon as I did, it spawned a new copy of the blank page and it did that
each time I tried to log in via signon-ui.

I tried revoking access to ubuntu in my facebook settings in the hope
that that would clear any bad state.  After doing that, when I try to
log in via signon-ui it spawns the facebook confirmation page in the
browser instead of in signon-ui's in-window browser and when I click
through to the end then I get the security warning page.
