Why don't external links from my FB app open?

[AC Question]

external links from fb app won't open

I have a galaxy s5 and it was working fine up until the lollipop update... now when I try to click a link from the Facebook app chrome will open, but not to the clicked link. It will either open the last site I was on, or if I closed all tabs it will open the Google homepage. I already tried turning off and on the external browser, clearing my defaults even trying the original browser, nothing works and it's getting me really aggravated, it works if I use the mobile site, but not the Facebook app. Please help!

Welcome to Android Central! I've noticed this as well on my Nexus 5. I think it's a Facebook app problem related to Lollipop--it's up to Facebook to fix it. Report the bug to them.

Its helped me to use my wifi instead of my data. But thats kind of annoying because i don't always have wifi around :/

I've noticed my Note 4 does this as well. I tried clearing the cache & data already.
