Authentication / Login Issues after upgrading to J 3.3.0 - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

recently updated j 3.2.3 j 3.3.0 , site experiencing following issue:

1) when utilizing existing connections login via social networking links (jfbconnect) site frontend not log user in , redirects joomla login. however, backend shows successful authentication , user indeed logged in.

2) after manually logging front end, when navigating 'registered' page menu item, site asks login credentials if user never logged in.

anyone else having similar issues?

j 3.3.0
php 5.4.4
jfbconnect 6.0.5 (component)
sclogin 4.0.5 (module)

i have tried following without success:

used different browsers (chrome, ff, ie)
cleared broswer cache (including cookies)
purged joomla cache
autotune shows no errors (jfbconnect)
logged out of existing social networks, cleared cache etc, attempted login via sclogin , still not work.
tried overwriting updates , had no effect well.

any suggestions great help.

are using standard authentication plugins? if so, i'm curious, work under these circumstances?
- use standard login form module (packaged joomla) , standard authentication plugin, log in
- go page requiring registered access generated joomla core feature, e.g. user settings or restricted article.

it's important rule out these extensions modify login procedure, when new release first comes out.
