One of the most useless feature in Facebook is the chat or Instant Messanger. 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.
- To achieve this result, you will need to download and use Firefox Internet browser.
- Now, install the AdBlock Plus addon.
- Restart Firefox for the changes to take effect.
- Login your Facebook account.
- On the upper right side of your Firefox, click the ABP icon and click Preferences.
- Click the Folder option located on the upper left side of the window.
- In the New Folder blank field, paste this code: facebook.com#div(id*=presence)
- Click OK.
- Done, the Chat box and the toolbar have disappeared forever from Facebook!

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.

Thanks for an easy and effective fix. This has gone into the browser on every computer I own or operate.
Although I occasionally use Facebook Chat, I have it connected to my regular instant messenger program, so I really don’t need it popping up in the browser as well. Disabling chat in the site unfortunately turns it off in both places. Adblocking the box gets the job done.

I think you used the word “folder” where you meant “filter,” but as there’s no ‘folder’ window I was able to figure it out — more or less. Works like a charm. Thanks so much!

This worked great! Now how do you get the newest facebook crap off your screen. I mean the people you may know box on the sidebar. Can it be done using the ad blocker also?
