No way to change security question.

Regarding stopping fb from tracking location, there are certain browser add ons which do that.
I'll tell you one which I personally use after some time.

i do came across few add ons like Adblockplus for chrome and firefox and "disconnect" addon for firefox.

found this info on some site.

Facebook's tracking cookies-which never expire, are only altered instead of deleted when a user logs out. This means that the tracking cookies still have your account number embedded in them and still know which user you are after you've logged out.

That also means that when you visit another site with Facebook-enabled social applications, from Like buttons to Open Graph apps, even though you're a logged out user, Facebook still knows you're there, and by "you," we mean specifically your account, not an anonymous Facebook user.



But i guess deleting cookies will not help , coz sometimes we change the location and use other device to connect and sometimes i use facebook after activating the "Ultra Surf"proxy app in firefox. most of proxy servers shows our location as RUSSIA.

how can we use FB while keeping proxy on , hahaha its not possible for a user to be in Uk at 5 am and after 10 min in russia.
Even if we change Wireless device/Service Provider our locations are different. (say if you using Reliance Wireless data card at home and you use Bsnl Connection at work they both show your locations different) how to get out of this problem. sometimes facebook ask you to recognise the tagged photos?? thats the only option to unlock the account. its not easy for you to recognise pics everyday.??


any solution to stop tracking my location??

Try this chrome extension. I believe it works as I just logged in from a german IP, and it didn't ask me for anything. Just give it a try.

There must be similar add on for firefox also. btw give it a try with chrome for once, lets see if it works or not.

And yeah, I've enabled all security options from the day I signed up, namely, security question, login notification, https only, and whatever they're.

I checked above from opera and chrome.

And it didn't asked any security verification (that too from non-authorised device)

@ OP: for Firefox, there are addons like Ghostery, AVG Do Not Track, etc. Haven't used AVG much on Firefox, but, it's there on my Chrome installation. While AVG gives you options to block websites/services from tracking you, where, you may set up the services/sites, you want to block from a list available, Ghostery straightaway blocks all the location tracking websites while the webpage is loading, and shows a list of blocked services/websites.
I, too am a frequent traveller, and, while I don't use Proxy to access facebook, as for me, Secure connection to facebook (HTTPS) is more than enough, whenever, I try accessing my account from a local device and network of that city, it does ask for security question, but doesn't ask for it when I try logging in from any of my own devices even using a local network.
If you're not getting the security question, I suppose, it's probably not enabled on your account.
