Did you try what Mike suggested?
You could also try deleting the app and creating a new one.

nope. I do not think that a user would understand he needs to change the proxy e-mail.
I do not want to showthe user the Proxy E-Mail crap. How to get rid of this Proxy E-mail stuff ? Is this a FB-setting for each individul user ?
tried again with another FB-user and got the Error-message:
"Please enter a value using 60 characters or fewer."

yeah, but how do I tell this to the user who is signing up via FaceBook ? So that this user does not get an error-message ?
So if the user is signing-up by using FaceBook and is keeping the setting "proxymail.facebook.com", then the user is getting an Error-message.
Is this a XF-bug or a FaceBook setting ? I am trying to get some help from the FB-developer forum.

Okay, it's not a bug.
This only affects NEW Facebook accounts.
If you already have an ACTIVE Facebook account, login and create your app.
If you intend to use a new Facebook account with your site, make sure you add at least 2 people/friends and post a few wall comments.
If you just open an account and create an app, Facebook will set the "proxified e-mail" as the user's default.

Here is an example:
site.com << app under new fb account.
site.net << app under existing/active fb account.
user(facebook user) logs into site.com, since the app at site.com was created under a new fb account, facebook will set the proxified-email as default email address.
user(facebook user) logs into site.net, since the app at site.net was created under an active fb account, facebook will set the normal email address as the user's default.
If you are the user login in, it doesn't matter whether or not you have friends etc.

To change that setting, you have to create the app under an active facebook account.
If you create an app under a brand new facebook account, facebook will set the "proxied email" as the default e-mail address and the user will have to GRANT permission to use the non-proxy one.
I have made a change to theoretically allow FB proxy mail addresses. However, quite annoyingly, the email addresses FB generates aren't actually valid in all situations: http://bugs.developers.facebook.net/show_bug.cgi?id=12199
The "please enter a valid email" error reflects that aspect; I've allowed longer emails for the ones that are valid.

Same for me Neal-UK . I have tried editing the app I was using for my IPB site that was working, and that didn't work. I tried creating another brand new app for the xenforo site and that didn't work.
I have yet to get past the An error occurred page.
I have a FB app setup for the IPB site and it's working, but I just can't get it to work no matter what I try under my xenforo test site. I do wonder why the xF site isn't asking for the Application ID, but my IPB site is.
