Thanks for the report. We are looking into this. In the meantime, you can block apps that have sent you requests from the https://www.facebook.com/games page by clicking the X on the request then clicking the block link.

In an attempt to block several game applications that friends of mine are using, I used to go to the application's profile page and hit "block application". Recently, Facebook's switch to an IFRAME landing page for an app makes that impossible. I have attempted to access the app's profile page by following this Facebook FAQ link:
https://www.facebook.com/help/
All that does is bounce off of a third-party server run by the app creator, then it prompts me to install the app into my Profile. It does not take me directly to the app's profile page.
I have also tried to navigate directly to the app's profile page via URL manipulation:
https://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id<app profile ID>
And have the same issue. Presently, this makes it very difficult to access the "block app" link, and I cannot find another way to do so at present.

| Steps to Reproduce: | 1. Follow the information outlined in this Facebook FAQ page to block an app: https://www.facebook.com/help/ 2. Some apps will work via this method, however the four I tried take me to their installer page or the IFRAME landing page. |
|---|---|
| Expected Behavior: | I expect to access the app's profile on Facebook so that I can block the app from being visible to my account. |
| Actual Behavior: | I am prompted to install the app. All attempts to access the app's profile page no longer work. |
