'Continue in Your Browser' - App login

I am trying to log in to the Oculus App on my PC, I have plugged in my headset, I clicked 'Continue with Facebook', then the next screen tells me to:
'Continue in Your Browser. To confirm your Facebook login, please switch to your default web browser now. The confirmation process may take a few seconds to complete'.
I have opened every web browser on my computer, logged into my facebook account on each browser, turned firewalls off, and nothing happens / no confirmation occurs. And the 'Help Centre' button at the bottom of the screen doesn't link to anything either.

Any idea what I should try next?

For anyone still having this issue;

Press Win+R, then type/paste the following: https://www.google.com

Then press Enter, this will/should pop-up asking you to set a default browser. Select which one you want [Chrome, Edge, Opera, ETC].

Once done, restart the oculus app and it should work a treat.

Still don't know why this hasn't been fixed tbh, I was pulling my hair out going from forum to forum looking for a Solution also...

Nothing is happening, no way to confirm anything. What horrible software.

Changed my default browser on windows to Edge. This allowed the oculus software to open a tab in edge.... shit software

Same here, I've used Opera, Edge, Chrome and Firefox. Nothing works.

I contacted support, and they told me to open the link (link in the address bar when you select "Continue with Facebook" in the desktop app) in incognito mode. I can't believe it worked. Stupid solution for stupid problems. Fix it Oculus.

What browsers do you use? Chrome's incognito mode seems doesn't work.

I used SSTap and a VPN to solve the problem. (because Facebook was not accessible in my region)

I've tried with both Firefox and Chrome as my default browser, and running Oculus as an admin. When I click "Continue with Facebook" it just crashes after a few seconds.
