I suggest creating a test app  for dev environment only  on https   developers facebook com apps and set  Website with Facebook Login property to your localhost  port  settings  this option will work fine with no need to change hosts  remember to change the appId back to your production app once you go live    Edit - in the latest fb version you ll find it under the settings tab

Facebook has added test versions feature   First  add a test version of your application  Create Test App    Then  change the Site URL to  http   localhost  under Website  and press Save Changes    That s all  but be careful  App ID and App Secret keys are different for the application and its test versions

Facebook seemingly randomly disables the ability to set localhost as a domain on your facebook app   I found the easiest work around was to tunnel my localhost to the web   This can be done for free using http   progrium com localtunnel  or with a custom url  easier since you don t have to change url everytime in facebook  https   showoff io

Looks like FB just changed the app dev page again and added a feature called  Server IP Whitelist     Go to your app and Select Settings -  Advanced Tab Get your public IP  google will tell you if you google  Whats My IP   Add your public IP to the Server IP Whitelist and click Save Changes at the bottom
