Why doesn't TB export Chat info for contacts?

For example Google Talk, AIM etc etc

looks like it is still waiting for someone to implement it. see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=953505

Thanks Matt,

Let me clarify my post. Unlike the chat logs as the bug mentions, I just want the IM entries included when exporting my address book (like Bob's Skype as bob1234 for a certain contact). Currently, the 'Chat' section is not included in the export.

This is amazing thanks! Wish this had native support, don't know why we need these as extras!

Because in five years of being on this forum you the first I have encountered that wanted that particular functionality. So for minority requests folk create add-ons to deliver what they want. Sometime if an add-on is wildly popular it gets incorporated. Other times add-ons come round to test the waters to see if anyone wants a feature.

Wow am I really the first? I was actually researching privacy recently and TB seems like a good choice to store my contacts locally instead of something like gmail. In a way, I'm using it like a personal CRM (if you know what that is).

Thanks for your help, Phil
