If you're having trouble logging into Facebook from your mobile browser, this is probably a cache and cookies issue. To fix it:

  1. Clear your mobile phone’s cache and cookies. Each phone is different, but you can usually clear cache and cookies from an option or settings menu when your mobile browser is open. You can consult your phone's user guide for more help.
  2. Enter m.facebook.com as a new URL, rather than using a bookmark or a link. Log out of Facebook if you have the option.
  3. Enter your normal login details to log in. Please note that passwords are case sensitive.

Note: You may want to repeat steps 1 through 3 a few times.
