I re-enabled the Social API by changing the settings in about:config back to the defaults (I had previously disabled it). Now I have the Facebook icon, but the sidebar says "Nightly is unable to connect with Facebook Messenger right now.".

Additionally, if I click on the icon, the top item is "(i) Not Logged in", and clicking it just takes me to the Facebook main page.

What's up?

Have you followed all the steps at https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2012/10/22/help-us-test-the-social-api-with-facebook-messenger-for-firefox/ (including visiting the Facebook page to enable Facebook messenger?)

Tyler, yes, I followed those instructions. I'm not sure what happened, but Firefox crashed last night (it is Nightly after all), and when I started it back up, Facebook was working. It might be a new version, or it might just be a fluke that needed restarting.

Either way, everything is working now!
