How to Place Facebook Chat on Firefox Sidebar

The chat feature in Facebook allows you to communicate with your friends, family and colleagues in real-time. Previously, you used to communicate by using Facebook wall or send messages on other persons’ inbox. But when more immediacy is required, these tools might not be enough and eventually Facebook chat aims to fill this gap. The chat bar which is located at the right bottom corner of your screen helps you to send instant messages, if the other person is also logged into the Facebook webpage at the same time. Sometimes, it becomes irritating for you to keep Facebook page open while chatting with your friends throughout the day. However, Mozilla offers a nifty technique through which you can add Facebook chat to Firefox, and you don’t need to open a separate Facebook webpage. Follow the steps given below and put your Facebook chat in Firefox in few minutes.
