Facebook Messenger for Firefox

If you are using latest version of Firefox, here is good news for you!!!

You can make it possible for social network features to be accessed straight from Firefox. It support Facebook only now and should eventually include most other major social sites such as Twitter. 

This feature lets you access Facebook directly from your browser without being on Facebook site. Once you enabled this feature; you get extra buttons in the toolbar and from there you can see what’s happening on your Facebook account.

You get four buttons to be precise. The first is the options which let you hide/show the sidebar or switch off the Facebook integration. You then get buttons for friend requests, messages and notifications exactly as you do on the website. The buttons work exactly the same as the website as well giving you a clear indication if you have any new notifications/messages/requests and how many. Clicking on them opens a little box exactly the same as on the website. You also get little pop ups in the bottom left if you get a notification whilst you are browsing.

To enable this you need to go to the official page Messenger for Firefox and click the Turn On button.

Write us your experience with this feature under comments.
