You are here because:

Facebook stores cookies automatically, and if you're logged out of facebook in your browser, they want you to login in order to keep fetching data and they also enforce a spam filter.

To reset this you have 3 options:

Option A:
Login to facebook on your browser -> in the extension settings, click the "edit" button for the Sidebar FB Gaming feature -> then click save -> then wait a few seconds for it to refresh.


Option B:
If you do not wish to login to facebook:
Wait, it seems that sometimes the errors stop after 30-60 minutes.


Option C:
If you do not wish to login to facebook:

  1. Close all facebook tabs on your browser.
  2. If you have a lot of streamers in your FB streamers list, remove a few (try to have a max of 6 or 7).
  3. Turn off the "Sidebar Facebook Gaming" feature in the extension settings and refresh your twitch tabs.
  4. Clear you browser's facebook-related site data and cookies (instructions below).
  5. wait 1 hour before turning the feature on and do not visit facebook on your browser during that 1 hour.
  6. after at least 1 hour, turn the feature on and wait a few seconds for it to refresh.
