Now restart Firefox properly.
go to "Add-ons manager" page and click Services tab
Look for "Facebook Messenger" there and enable it if disabled.
You will notice facebook sidebar in right side of your firefox window.
enjoy! Facebook for firefox

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatively you can go (online method): https://www.facebook.com/about/messenger-for-firefox
Well i feel that online method is a much faster than offline but this is the only difference between the geek :showoff: and novice :blink: .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This trick has been tested under virtual machine (Win7 sp1 x86+ Firefox v23 stable)

[SlimRock]

:clap: !!!

[child]

I have tried it but it always mark "Not Login" when click on it ... a pga open for facebook (in wich I already logged in).

Any idea what to do??

[ank91]

u can try one of these.

clear your FF cookies.

run FF in Safe mode.

RESET YOUR FF.

OR

try activating fb messenger via online method.

dont use user agent switcher addon.

I think its still in testing ?? I manage to get the ticker on the right but the chat/members are not there.

@Sonar

yes it is still in testing, that's why they have not enable it by default
