Force Facebook to Open Link in External Browser for Smart Phones

how to force links or pages to open outside of facebook inapp browser?

This is not something you can (reliably) detect.

Even if you could, I'm pretty sure there's no way to force the site to open in the device's browser, instead of the in-app browser

How to prevent Facebook in app browser from opening my website links?

It is completely up to the user, there is no way to force opening it in the default browser instead. There is more information (and some answers) in this thread: File upload control not working in Facebook In-App Browser

Is there any way to force a link to open in Chrome from Facebook's in-app browser?

Try

googlechrome://navigate?url=example.com

for Android users.

Open Facebook page from Android app?

In Facebook version 11.0.0.11.23 (3002850) fb://profile/ and fb://page/ no longer work. I decompiled the Facebook app and found that you can use fb://facewebmodal/f?href=[YOUR_FACEBOOK_PAGE]. Here is the method I have been using in production:

/**
 * <p>Intent to open the official Facebook app. If the Facebook app is not installed then the
 * default web browser will be used.</p>
 *
 * <p>Example usage:</p>
 *
 * {@code newFacebookIntent(ctx.getPackageManager(), "https://www.facebook.com/JRummyApps");}
 *
 * @param pm
 *     The {@link PackageManager}. You can find this class through {@link
 *     Context#getPackageManager()}.
 * @param url
 *     The full URL to the Facebook page or profile.
 * @return An intent that will open the Facebook page/profile.
 */
public static Intent newFacebookIntent(PackageManager pm, String url) {
  Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
  try {
    ApplicationInfo applicationInfo = pm.getApplicationInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0);
    if (applicationInfo.enabled) {
      // http://stackoverflow.com/a/24547437/1048340
      uri = Uri.parse("fb://facewebmodal/f?href=" + url);
    }
  } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException ignored) {
  }
  return new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
}
