Hey very nice post on getting back the old facebook chat…:)
Thanks for your Comment Balu
Great way to get old chat back in FB.Thanks a lot dude!
Thanks for stopping by and Commenting
Now, that’s something that I could use. Thanks for sharing it, 😀
This is fantastic, thanks so much for the heads up! Makes the chat feature bearable.. I’ve really no idea why they would take away such basic features as creating your own list of contacts, and having no separation of online / offline contacts. It’s lunacy, making ridiculous changes to a fairly solid chat system just for the sake of it!
Thanks for your comment Nick
I installed it and went offline to see how it works and now there is no button to come back online 🙂
You can see AVAILABLE TO CHAT in the settings of the chat.. Then you will be online. again
Mac version pl0x?
Gease monkey is the platform free addon of firefox. so install firefox in your mac to enjoy the script. Even you can install in Chrome.. Its platform free script.
Thank you so much. The new facebook was driving my head crazy! This works perfectly. @Merlin, I have installed it on mac using firefox. It’s a better browser than Safari.
Thanks for Your comment Callum

Hi thanks for making the time to do this script, fair play, installed for me fine but now shows that i have 0 friends online! im using mozilla firefox 5.0. any help ya can give me?
Clear the Cache of your Browser and Try again
i got most of my friends back, but the problem now is that i had my chat divided into 4 different chats as such, so i could talk to certain people whilst the rest of my online friends couldn see me as online, but now i cant see any of those people on my list,
Clear the Cache of the Browser and try again
Sweet it works like charm. if only FB programmers realized what we needed in first place!?!?
Yes. I hope they will revert the chat or we should use this code for longer
It works after updated the new ver.
thanks a lot Vincent

hello bro, i’ve installed the old fb chat box, it’s working.
but the problem is,when i log out and log in again, i can’t open the chat box even though i try many times, help me to solve this problem pls. 🙂
Reinstall the script. and restart the browser
I installed it and it works as you said but it shows in the top upper left rather than side right like the old chat. Any idea? This is how the new facebook chat looked before too, but it didn’t show my contacts like this script does.
When I say top upper left I mean it’s above even the facebook header with a bunch of blank white space to the right, then regular facebook beneath. Again, this is how my chat was before. I’m on Google Chrome.
Try clearing the cache
Hi I already installed greasemonkey, but when I download the script, when clicking install on the pop up window- nothing happens
Try Clearing the Cache and try again
Thanks! Finally, its working!
I figured out that I was using Firefox version 3, I need to upgrade to version 5 to make it work..
Well Upgrade it…

After I installed it everything was perfect for around a month, but now it says “Loading” when ever i open chat, and never loads. Usually it would take around 15 seconds, now it literally never loads.
How do you uninstall it?
Go to Settings -> Tools -> Extension you can remove from there…
I installed the chat and i worked perfectly for around a month, but in the past few days it would say “Loading” when it was loading all my facebook friends, but it would never load. It tells me how many people are online just not who actually is.
