How did FACEBOOK get details of an obituary search I made in order to suggest me as a friend to a relative of the deceased?

Only one day after I searched for the obituary of my spouse's deceased relative, Facebook suggested me as a friend to the deceased's brother-in-law. We have no connection other than that, no one who is friends to us both. Somehow, the information about the family of the deceased, which included this person's name, was linked to me and thus prompted Facebook to suggest me as a friend. I consider this to be a serious invasion of my privacy. Please give me an explanation. Thank you, Nancy Brownlee

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

This is a Firefox support forum, not a Facebook forum. FB uses a multitude of algorithms to suggest friends and news stories, and most of them are secret. I'd suggest complaining to them.
