Social API buttons (FBchat) in aren't available since updating to FF Aurora 29. The sidebar is available!

The support article that covers "FBchat", How does Facebook Messenger for Firefox work?, probably needs to be updated for Firefox Aurora.

Firefox Aurora is a pre-beta test build, which means it's still a "work in progress". I'm not testing it myself. If you don't get a better answer from someone familiar with Aurora, here is a bug report I found on the Social API sidebar, in case it helps:

  • Bug 960198 - No obvious option to unhide SocialAPI sidebar

Here are the Aurora release notes, which link to more information about the new Firefox user interface:
