When I click the "Open in Unity" button on the asset store the initial request goes to Facebook

Unity Engine

Hello,
I was having an issue where whenever I click the “Open in Unity” button on the asset store it was no longer actually opening in Unity ever since I installed 2018.1 0.f1 when I went to inspect the link it showed that the request was going to Facebook, I was just wondering why that might be?

I wanted to confirm that, that was the case so I tried in Firefox as well to make sure it was not some Chrome extension or anything doing it. Turns out there were several that showed up.

I am having issues with this as well.

On my side, it’s a big problem because my company does not allow facebook. When our firewall blocks the facebook connection the browser built into Unity sees it as a failed connection and clears the screen saying that I am “offline”. When using any major browser other than the built in one it ignores the error and still loads the page.
