Michael,
After working through the instructions below for windows I still get a message
saying that the user name or password is incorrect. I tried the following:
-Restart Pidgin
-Restart Computer
I tried the following for user names:
- usern...@chat.facebook.com\pidgin
- usern...@chat.facebook.com/pidgin
- usern...@chat.facebook.com
- Username/pidgin
- Username\pidgin
- Username
- Email
and I still get the user name is incorrect message. Did I miss something?
I followed the following from you link.
Basic usage
Install the plugin (see the corresponding section below)
Restart pidgin
Add a new account or modify your existing one with the following details:
Protocol: "Facebook" (NOT "Facebook (XMPP)")
Username: Either your email, facebook username or phone will work. If
you had "usern...@chat.facebook.com", remove the "@chat.facebook.com" part.
Installing on windows
Download: libjson-glib-1.0.dll
Copy the downloaded libjson-glib-1.0.dll to C:\Program Files\Pidgin
Download the latest libfacebook.dll from the releases
Copy the downloaded libfacebook.dll to C:\Program Files\Pidgin\plugins
Note: Program Files will be Program Files (x86) on 64-bit Windows.
Thanks,
Nicolai Knaggs

What operating system are you using?
Facebook dropped XMPP support (which Pidgin uses) a while ago and seems
to have finally shut it off in the past day or two. They only use a
custom closed protocol now.
James Geboski is adding support for it as a Google Summer of Code
project. Last I heard, it was already usable. Here's the repo:

See the README for instructions.
