Can someone please help? Can't publish to Facebook in LR4.1

Question

When I attempt to "authorize" Lightroom to access my Facebook account I get a "webpage cannot be accessed" and the address "lightroom://com.adobe.lightroom.export.facebook/#access_token="  and a ridiculously long string of jibberish afterward.  Same thing happens with the built in publish service for Flickr.   I am about to pull out what hair I have left because I've been unable to locate an answer to this issue. 
Any insight or help from the professional community on this site would be greatly appreciated.

Victoria,
For Facebook:  I used the following procedure found on another thread on this site dated 15 Mar 2012, The  "Failed to receive the authentication token." will show up as a blue hyperlink right above the "Change Account" button.
I found I was able to complete it only using Microsoft IE on windows using the following method:
1. Delete Lightroom from the Apps on your account
2. Re-authorize from Lightroom (make sure Microsoft IE is the default internet browser)
3. When authorizing IE will go to an invalid URL - just copy all of the URL
4. When Lightroom notifies "Failed to receive the authentication token." Click on it to bring up "lightroom://..." under the Facebook Authorization URL
5 Replace "lightroom://..." with the URL you copied and it will be authorized
Note it doesn't seem to work with either Firefox or Google Chrome
As for Flickr...Under the "Sharing and Extending" tab in Flickr, Lightroom is not showing up.  Under the LR Publish Services, Plug in Manager, Lightroom indicates I can't save my changes to the Flickr set up because I am not logged in to Flickr, when in fact I am.  Logging out of Flickr and logging back in has no effect on the process as LR still returns the same thing.
I'm baffled, to say the least.
