Facebook Chat is cool, at least it allows you to send instant messages to online Facebook contacts. However I’m not really a fan of the chat bar being at the bottom of the page, what if I’ve left Facebook but still wants to remain chatting with my Facebook contacts? If you are using Firefox, you can place the Facebook Chat at the sidebar.
Step 1
Look for Bookmarks on the top navigation. Select Organize Bookmarks…
Step 2
Click New Bookmark... tab and enter the following:
- Name: Facebook Chat
- Location: http://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php
- Check Load this bookmark in sidebar.
Step 3
Launch the Firefox sidebar, click Facebook Chat and start chatting with your Facebook contacts within Firefox.

When I load the bookmark into the sidebar, Firefox automatically resizes to popup size. NO matter what I do, I cannot get it to restore. What am I doing wrong? Firefox 3.5.2

ReplyRyan W September 16th, 2009
Yeah, it looks like if you guys with the sizing problem leave off the “.php” at the end of the web address, it will work. does for me anyway. the sidebar isn’t as pretty, but it works and it doesn’t resize the browser.

To disable windows resizing in Firefox …
1. Go to : Option > Content > Advanced
2. Uncheck the “Move or resize existing windows” checkbox

Its a very nice app. however when i tried it, and opened up “fb chat” i was directed to a website http://www.com within my sidebar.
ReplyI also like the idea of pop out chat option and whole lot easier.
but thanks anyway.
