Facebook Toolbar for Firefox

Open Source Projects

The Facebook Toolbar for Firefox is a free extension for Firefox that lets you extend your Facebook experience into your everyday browsing.

Note: Firefox pop-up blocker might prevent the download box from opening. To fix this, follow the directions below:

  • Look at the message at the top of your browser that says "Firefox has prevented this site from asking to install software..." At the far right corner there is an "Options" button.
  • Click on the "Options" button to see the "Allow Sites" pop-up.
  • Click "Allow" on the site developers.facebook.com and close the popup.
  • Click the download button again to install the toolbar.

Firefox 2/IE7 users can also add Facebook to their search box.

Get Notified

Icons on the toolbar tell you how many new pokes, friend requests, messages, event invitations, and group invitations you have.

A pop-up will notify you when your friends update their statuses and profiles, upload new photos, write new notes, or interact with you on Facebook.

Click the icon to open the Facebook friends sidebar and check out your friends' profile pictures and statuses, along with convenient links for interacting with them on Facebook. You can sort your friends by name or by how recently they updated their status or profile.

The Share button lets you share the page that you are currently browsing by sending it to friends or posting it to your profile.
