I would like to configure my Facebook account with Thunderbird. I found this article about connecting chat: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/instant-messaging-and-chat I clicked "File", "New", "Chat Account" as recommended. However in the window was no option "Facebook" (Just GoogleTalk, IRC,Twitter and ). I selected IRC and then XMPP chat and put my facebook username (copied from here https://www.facebook.com/username/) and tried to put facebook.com or chat.facebook.com as server there. It did no work. Thank you for any advice Kamila

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

It stopped working some time ago.

<big>Chat API (Deprecated)</big>

On April 30, 2014, we announced the deprecation of the XMPP Chat API as part of the release of Platform API v2.0.

After April 30th, 2015 apps will no longer be able to access the service or API. This includes both access to chat.facebook.com and the xmpp_login permission.

We recommend people access Facebook Messages on the desktop via Facebook.com or Messenger.com.
