- QuestionMy screen is blank and it won't let me see or do anything-- not even use the tool bar. What causes this?
Community AnswerIt could be any number of things, but a good first step to recovering it would be to shut down your computer completely (CTRL + ALT + DEL) and restart it after a few minutes. - QuestionWhat should I do if it won't let me log out?
Community AnswerClose the app and try again. If that doesn't work, try restarting your device. If you really need to log out, delete Facebook and re-download it. This should be used as a last resort. - QuestionIs there a way to log out of Facebook without scrolling all the way up to the top of the page to the drop down menu?
Community AnswerClosing it, then reopening is a quick and easy way to reach the top again, removing the need to scroll back up. Pressing the "Home" button will also cause your browser to scroll all the way up to the top.
