I have sent many IM's using various websites, but never gotten a reply, even though the recipient is supposedly connected for IM. Do I need to change any settings or install an add on. I use windows 7 pro 64. and always keep firefox updated. Thanks in advance

Thank you for your question, I understand that you are asking if there is an extension or install needed to support instant messaging in Firefox. No it does not. However there is a possibility that something might be blocked.

  • Does this happen in all chat messengers?
  • Are you using a proxy for your internet browsing? If so check to see if IM is blocked here as well.
