Why Messenger for Firefox is Down?
https://www.facebook.com/about/messenger-for-firefox
New Messenger for Firefox facility is down for a few hours. After user clicks on Turn ON, messenger sidebar opens but user can not Log In the system. So Facebook Messenger facility can not be used currently.
Please fix the issue if possible.
