SignIn with Facebook provider in redirect flow causes unpleasant for a user message

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have got facebook provider enabled. and signInFlow is set to ‘redirect’. This is what a user sees when attempts to sign in with facebook (find the message in red in the bottom):

This message is confusing at least for a user. The worst, it might discourage to signin.

Describe the solution you’d like When firebase-ui redirects to facebook, let facebook screen to choose the optimal view as it is suggested in the red message by facebook (see screenshot above).

Describe alternatives you’ve considered SingInFlow set to popup does not cause this issue, however, I prefer to have redirect flow, because popup windows can be blocked by a browser (as far as I have seen) and some users do not see / understand why login button does not do anything.

I think facebook expects popup display type if the window is too small. Probably we should pass popup as display type from our sdk if the window is too small.

I see, it is weird. Nothing we can do about it apart from maybe reporting to facebook.
