Meteor Facebook Login "You are using a display type of 'popup' in a large browser window or tab" Error

You are using a display type of 'popup' in a large browser window or tab. For a better user experience, show this dialog with our JavaScript SDK without specifying an explicit display type.

This isn't a issue really its just a warning. Meteor doesn't use the JS Facebook SDK and gives a specified height/width for the facebook OAuth dialog & your browser size may be too big for the small popup (not too sure- looks ok in your screenshot).

If you disable your app from Sandbox mode/another user uses your app they wouldn't see this warning anymore.

The alternative is to use a redirect to facebook or a mobile display. The best option is the popup (what you have now) because it's the fastest: A redirect means your Meteor app has to reconnect up.
