Actually, a lot of users do not like it because Facebook is just a social networking website and people simply communicate with each other with messages. Here is a simple hack which will let you turn the chat off for good.

  1. To achieve this result, you will need to download and use Firefox Internet browser.
  2. Now, install  the AdBlock Plus addon.
  3. Restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
  4. Login your Facebook account.
  5. On the upper right side of your Firefox, click the ABP icon and click Preferences.

    I have AdBlock Plus 1.1.3, and it makes no mention of Folder and New Folder.

    It does have Filter and Add Filter, and they worked with your method.

    Thanks for the very helpful method.
