[nfbcs] Very Strange Facebook issue

[Jude DaShiell]

I suppose some malware is capable of changing language settings for 
connections.  I don't know of any specific malware with this 
characteristic yet, but then again I haven't asked the security experts 
I know the question yet either.  I would avoid doing any synchronization 
with that tablet and hope you have backed it up more than once by now. 
If so, probably your best bet will be to restore from the backup before 
the most current one after you have erased the tablet.  Test facebook 
with that restore and if all works well, erase the most current backup 
as a precaution the one you didn't restore from.
