I don't know if this is an iOS 6 issue, or an AIR one. When I do a navigateToUrl to a Facebook page through http, it is opening on the FB app instead of the browser, and instead of showing that page, the main user page is opened.

The page in question has a dot in its name, I don't know if that makes any difference. Any workaround on this?

Yes there is a work around, and I only had to figure that our recently! Each Facebook page has an ID number, you can get the ID by going to the graph version of the page:

https://graph.facebook.com/ThomasandFriends

You can see that the Thomas and Friends page has an ID of 160515869555. In my code I go to this page:

http://www.facebook.com/160515869555

instead of:

http://www.facebook.com/ThomasandFriends

That's all it takes to make the Facebook app be happy!

On my devices everything is ok after the change, however one user is reporting that he's still having the problem... dunno, will wait for some other reports.

EDIT: The user says it's now working after uninstalling.
