I type in my email address and password (correctly!) in Facebook, click log in, and the two field clear. No error message appears. I try a couple of times without success and finally change my password in FB. That works until I log out of FB. Then, the problem appears and I have to repeat changing password... etc.

This problem does NOT occur if I use Safari
