Facebook script stopped working a couple of days ago, is it just me or a general problem?

Thanks!

I have three FB accounts... two of them seem to be working in Firefox, Thunderbird... but one of them just won't connect.  And all three of them aren't working for me in Chrome browser.

The two accounts I have that are working in Firefox and Thunderbird can detect messages.

You might want to just clear your Facebook cookies...

In Firefox, click Tools, Options, Privacy... and if it says "Remember history", change it to "Use custom settings...", then click Show Cookies... search or go to facebook cookies, highlight(select), and click Remove cookie(s).

If I remove my Facebook 'XS' cookie, then my third account starts working, but it will soon fail again.

Thanks, but that didn't work, at least for me :(

I hope you did not just clear the xs cookie... start with clearing -all- the facebook cookies.

And then there's other steps... http://xnotifier.tobwithu.com/dp/node/4

Hey RpD,

Did you inform admin we need an update for Chrome?

Nope.  
Are  you having Chrome/FB checking problem, too?
Since two of my accounts work on TB/FF, I thought it was just my setup glitched or that the problem would pass...
(AOL and deviantART both go on/off/on able to check, by themselves, for me).
I was just limping along with TB/FF versions (although my primary FB won't check on any version)... and FB apps.

I guess I'll try to set up an account/email to him.

Sorry to spread false information.
Since a long time I used Chrome instead of Opera Next and to my surprise the facebook XN script is working there, while it is failing in (my) Opera Next (red).

Sorry, sorry and again... SORRY !!!

Well... let us know if it starts failing in Chrome, or elsewhere.
My Facebook accounts have stopped being checked in Firefox and Thunderbird now.

Thanks for the method, worked for a while, but as you said, it soon fails again.

This seems to be a widespread issue, someone needs to contact the dev. and tell him about this problem.

You might notice in the thread above, we discussed that.

thanks for telling me, I wasn't sure if you guys had contacted the dev. or not. Also, sorry for the duplicate post, I saw that the orginal thread was in the Firefox forum, so I figured I'd repost the problem in the Chrome forum to be safe.

Makes sense.

I did email the admin, Tobwithu.

I have 4 FB accounts I check.  Two of them began failing yesterday and the 3rd failed today.  Only one works now....but I can login to each one of them when selecting the account manually.

My 3 FB accounts don't get checked in FF or TB either now.  I don't see anything unusual in login process when I go to manually log in at the website.

I did send test acct to Tobwithu, although I believe he has FB accts.

Please update to the new script.

This script does not work in Safari and Opera because of the changes in Facebook website.
