Facebook integration is a great way to keep your social media accounts organized and easy to use. Firefox has a built-in Facebook integration that makes it easy to add your Facebook account information to your Firefox profile. To enable Facebook integration in Firefox, follow these steps:
- Open Firefox and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the main window. This will open a menu with three options: Add New Tab, Add User, or Edit Profile.
- In the Add New Tab option, enter facebook into the text field and click on the OK button.
- In the Edit Profile option, enter your Facebook username and password into the text fields and click on the OK button.
- Click on the OK button in all three options to finish setting up Facebook integration in Firefox.
The latest version of Firefox adds support for native Facebook integration, however the setting to enable it is hidden in about:config. Here’s how to enable it.
How to Enable Facebook Integration in Firefox
Open Firefox and head over to about: config.
You will be given a sarcastic warning about voiding your warranty, just click on the I’ll be careful button to continue.
Now type social into the search box, you should see a setting called social.enabled which will initially have a value of false. Double click on it to set the value to true.
As soon as you do that you should see a Facebook bar appear on the right hand side of the Firefox Window, click on the Log In button.
This will redirect you to the Facebook website where you can go ahead and login.
Once logged in you will be able to see updates and notifications as well as who’s online directly from your browser, without having to visit the Facebook website.
That’s all there is to it.
