Error message while trying to connect to Facebook chat via Thunderbird.

Thunderbird Troubleshooting

I have read multiple forums and watched YouTube video's on how to connect to Facebook Chat via Thunderbird however, I am unable to connect. I have gone into Facebook to verify and re-verify my password and have also tried multiple variations of my "username"...i.e. First name....First and Last name......First.Last@chat.facebook.com...I continue to get an error message saying:

"Error: Not authorized (Did you enter the wrong password?)"

Assistance would be appreciated.

Thank You
