How to Fix Facebook Session Expired Error?

You're scrolling through Facebook when all of a sudden...boom. An error message, and you can't see your friends' photos anymore. You need to fix it, and you need to do it quickly.

Luckily, there are ways to troubleshoot this issue so that you can get back to looking at your friend's baby pictures as soon as possible. This article will introduce a few of them and help you get back on track quickly.

Use a Different Browser

If your Facebook session has expired, you can try to log in again with a different browser.

Close all open tabs on your browser and then try logging back in again to Facebook.

If that still doesn't work, clear your browser cache by pressing CTRL + Shift + R at the same time, or go > History > Clear Recent History > Recently Closed Tabs (Internet Explorer) or Browsing History (Firefox). Then restart your computer before trying again.

Clear Cache

To clear the cache, you'll need to click the Hamburger icon in the upper right corner and select Settings. From here, click on Privacy and then Clear Browsing Data.

You can then choose what types of data you want to clear from your browser: cookies and site data, cached images and files, local storage including Flash Cookies and media libraries (like your photos), or everything.

To remove Flash cookies from Chrome on a Mac: Open up a new tab, type “chrome://settings/clearBrowserData” into the address bar and press Enter or Return on your keyboard; Click “clear browsing data” from the menu that appears next; Checkmark "Delete cookies and other site data" then select Remove all button on bottom below.

Update the Browser

If you get this error while logging in, then the first thing to do is to check for updates on your browser. To do this, go to Settings and click on Update Browsers. If there are any updates available, update them immediately.

If the problem persists even after updating the browser, then it might be an issue with your internet connection. Try using a different browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox and check if you are able to log in successfully using these browsers.

If you are able to log in using these browsers but not with Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, then it is clear that there is some problem with Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer and not Facebook itself or its servers because other browsers work fine for logging into Facebook.

Disable Extensions and Plugins

To fix the Facebook session expired error, you can try disabling extensions and plugins such as ad blockers. To do so:

If it's still not working, try rebooting your computer.

Try logging in to Facebook again from a different browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox if you're using Safari or Internet Explorer.
