The only thing that works for me is to change the user agent, is there any downside to this except for the fact that I can't use the OVI-store before I reset the user agent in MicroB?

(Surely there's some other reason.)
There are only differences in the two User Agent strings is:
N8x0:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv6l; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20080828 Firefox/3.0a1 Tablet browser 0.3.7 RX-34+RX44+RX48_DIABLO_5.2010.16.1
N900:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux armv7l; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20091127 Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.5.6 RX-51 N900
1. Different version of the processor
2. I actually don't know this one. Hardware revision?
3. Gecko engine version
4. Firefox 3.0 vs. 3.5
5. Tablet browser vs. Maemo Browser
6. N800, N810, N810 WME, with Diablo vs. N900 with no stated OS.
Tell you what, you inspired me to test a hypothesis: change the word 'Maemo' to 'Tablet', i.e.
Change the original User Agent from:
Firefox/3.5 Maemo Browser 1.7.4.8 RX-51 N900
To:
Firefox/3.5 Tablet Browser 1.7.4.8 RX-51 N900
Then type 'facebook.com' in MicroB and press ENTER.
Yeah! Full version of facebook!
Change back to Maemo:
Mobile version.....OoOPs.
Through a little test we can confirm that Facebook recognizes the word 'Tablet' in the User Agent!

I think you just did the inverse. You showed that it recognizes the word Maemo and sends you to the mobile version.
The full site is the default so hence if IŽd write gobbeldigook, or other similar made up words, instead of Maemo or Tablet, IŽd also get the full site.
However, it's even worse if facebook picked on the word 'Maemo'.
What has maemo community done that makes facebook discriminating the word 'maemo'? I wonder...
BTW, thank you for your reply. I just want to find a User Agent that can work with facebook and OVI store, but....

Up until recently I was using the lite.facebook.com site which worked very well with my n900, on whatever browser I used. I think they have removed that URL.
Now I am also being directed to the mobile version. Based on the User-Agent I guess..
pity.

Now that we know the cause, and how to circumvent it, now the issue falls on how to get Facebook's attention, and how to get them to change it.
Once we get their attention, it shouldn't take much persuasion, if they have any common sense...
I'm assuming those "Petition for [insert new feature here]" groups don't work, right?
And help threads only accommodate up to 12 (I believe) responses.
And... to be honest, I don't think we have enough people to gain attention via the Suggestions box...
So, how? List your ideas.

we need a facebook application now!!
I've submitted a bug on FB so that hopefully they'll take notice if enough people kick up a fuss, it should be a reasonably simple fix.
