I'm making a website using Facebook Connect and decided to use Facebook's XFBML tags like "fb:profile-pic" since they are so easy to use.
I haven't been able to make them work no matter how hard I look online but then I noticed that it worked on all the browser's instead of Firefox.
I also realized that even on Facebook's own "The Run Around" sample app they don't work!! You can check it out here: http://www.somethingtoputhere.com/therunaround/index.php
If you log in with Firefox your picture is not shown, but if you use another browser it is shown. This happens with the fb:profile-pic tag or any other tag like fb:name.
I haven't found any information online so I'm asking other people that have worked with this: Are these tags simply not compatible with Firefox ? Do they have outages or something like that ? Has this happened to anyone before ? Any ideas on how to resolve this ?
I guess they do have "outages". I've spent the whole weekend trying to resolve this and now they post they had a problem and have resolved it.
From the Platform Live Status website:

We are experiencing a possible config problem with api.connect.facebook.com. If you are including Connect JS library through http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php, all API requests through JavaScript would fail. This affects rendering of XFBML tags (such as fb:name and fb:profile-pic) as well. While we are fixing this issue, you can work around the problem by changing http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php to http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php. It's also safe to keep url change permanently because connect.facebook.com is just an alias to facebook.com.
I wish they had updated that sooner, now I'm looking for a place to find out about this stuff before I spend days working on something before realizing it's not a problem with my code!
