http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8849559

 

Facebook recently released XMPP support for Facebook Chat to allow users to directly add Facebook Chat to clients like Pidgin without the need of workarounds. They also provided instructions (as a part of their new site tour) for setting up Facebook Chat in pidgin:

  1. Go to "Accounts" and select "Manage Accounts."
  2. On the Basic tab, enter the following info:
    Protocol: XMPP
    Username: <your Facebook username>  (i.e. ambrosa )
    Domain: chat.facebook.com
    Resource: Pidgin
    Password: <your Facebook password>
    Local alias: <your Facebook name>   (i.e. ambrosa )
  3. Click the Advanced tab, then enter the following info:
    Connect port: 5222
    Connect server: chat.facebook.com
    (Uncheck the box labeled "Require SSL/TLS")
