Hi guys !  
I made a websites which needs the user to login to Facebook.  
It uses the facebook API to check if the user is logged or not; and the API opens a popup if he is not logged.

```auto

import com.facebook.graph.Facebook;
import com.facebook.graph.data.FacebookSession;
import com.facebook.graph.net.FacebookRequest;

...

Facebook.init(APP_ID, FBDidInit);

....

Facebook.login(FBfinishedLogin, {perms:"publish_stream,user_location"});

```

The problem is that with some of the browsers (eg. Safari); the popup is blocked.  
It is the API and not my code which launches the popup so I have no control on it.

Any idea of workaround ?

Thanks !
