<pre wrap="">Hi All,
Quick question, I assume Facebook chat is no longer supported via
Thunderbird? I see Facebook closed the XMPP API around April 2015, so I
guess this is the case. If so we should update the relevant docs (happy
to do this).
Cheers,
Dave

Thanks for being on top of this (and sorry for taking so long to
respond). Facebook no longer supports the way we used to connect to
it. As Magnus said, it's being handled in bug 1236133 [1]. We also
posted on the Instantbird blog about this [2]. I've copied the
content of this post below:<br>

We're trying to figure out a way to disable this for 45 and
hopefully re-enable it in the future.<br>
