then look at the URL in the window that you end up in at facebook.com -- the one prompting you for permissions. Just edit the URL to reflect the permissions that you want to give the app.)"
That's literally what this plugin does. It's actually kind of hard to do it without a plugin though; way harder than it should be:
For some reason, Chrome doesn't let you edit the URL for this kind of popup and so you have to copy it and paste it into a new window. Then, when you "allow" it, the javascript that would trigger the original page to reload doesn't work, since the page didn't popup your new window.
You can refresh the original window now, and depending on how the app is programmed, it may or may not have you logged in. If not, you can click the facebook connect button again, and this time hit "Deny". If the programmer was lazy, they won't notice that you Denied, and since you've already granted some permissions, you might get logged in.
Anyway, the plugin works better. I wrote it because I used to do this stuff.
