Massive Error With Facebook Platform Results In New Application Install Failure (Updated)

When trying to install new applications Facebook users are being prompted with a screen which says “In order to perform this action, you must confirm your email address.” It then tells the user that a confirmation email has been sent to their email address and to enter the confirmation code. No code is being sent The email notifications are then substantially delayed and thus no applications can be [easily] installed.

I’m not quite sure if this is a new layer of security that Facebook is adding but it is preventing from any application being installed by a user.
