Facebook links keep crashing?

Whenever I go to open a link in Facebook (like the mirror or buzzfeed) the page loads and after about 10 seconds the app resets itself and brings me back to the newsfeed? I have tired forcing the app the stop but this didn't work! Any other suggestions?

@LG156

have you set the facebook app to open links with the facebook app or a third party app (chrome)?

Change it to chrome and see if you experience the same issue.

Sorry! I can't find it anywhere to change it! I have looked in app settings and everything?

Facebook > menu > scroll down > app settings > links open externally > on

@LG156 @uliwooly What I have noticed on both Z2 and Z5 is that opening articles in the inbuilt browser from facebook will give the virus advertisments, with phone vibrating and stuff.
