Facebook provides a convenient way for you to chat with your family and friends with it’s built-in chat service, Facebook Chat. Somehow, they are lack of functionality and features. They don’t provide you with emoticons and smileys, and they definitely don’t allow you to store your chat conversations. In my previous post, I have shown you how to add emoticon list in your Facebook Chat window. So today, we will learn how to save all your Facebook chat messages.
Facebook Chat History Manager is a Firefox extension that saves all your Facebook conversations locally in Firefox. Your chat messages are securely stored and password-protected. Therefore, no one can access and view your chat history without the correct password.
To setup Facebook Chat History Manager, after you’ve installed the extension, visit this page, http://apps.facebook.com/firechm/ and click “Allow” button. Now, create an account with Chat History Manager. From the Firefox menubar, navigate to Tools> Facebook Chat History Manager> Create Account.
To locate your Facebook ID, go to your facebook profile page, then note the url address of the page. For example. the url of my profile page look like this : http://www.facebook.com/steveyu85?ref=profile. So my Facebook ID is steveyu85.
You can view all your saved chat messages anytime either online or offline. To view chat history online, visit this page and click View Chat History. The chat messages can be filtered by friend or date.
For offline access, press Ctrl+Alt+F to open the chat history window. You need to login to view the chat history.

Hi, Kyle. I see you have problem to locate the Facebook ID. To find your facebook id, go to your facebook profile page, then note the url address of the page. For example. the url of my profile page look like this : http://www.facebook.com/steveyu85?ref=profile. So my Facebook ID is steveyu85. I hope my explanation is clear. Have good time using this firefox add-on.
Hi, cannot see any chat history… i don’t even see my friends under the friend list.. can you please provide detailed instructions ? or was I missing something. I used my username for “FacebookID(*)” instead of my email add…… cant see anything.. please help.. tnx!
Please refer to my previous reply to the first comment.
Yes, I used to follow exactly as what you’ve said. The problem is that there are no items below my friend list showing on chat history manager. Definitely, messages are also not showing up or stored. Is this working on any version of firefox? I’m using the latest version… And also I’m on windows7.. ?? Here’s what I did:
FacebookID: ptbl_paulweight@yahoo.com
Login Name: enardtot
Show Messaged per page: 10
Any mistakes? please help.. tnx much..
Okay, I see the problem now. Key in enardtot as the FacebookID. As for Login Name, just leave it blank. It’s should be working now!
no friends are showing up on my history….am i doing something wrong?
