you should check cookie settings or js, cause i tested sending and recieving messages without any problems both with default ua and ff ua so it has to do with your privacy defaults

the opera ua is not really recommended f[r gecko. at one time, facebook decided to block features from firefox 2 so it was used temporarily hence 'fb' but it has serious bugs with gecko like displaying icons and images and other visual bugs..at that time it fixed the wall and 'chatbox' for facebook users but a week after facebook restored functions for ff2 so the original switch was used again.

the opera string is now reserved for myspace for a second domains list (badlist2) which completely blocks ff2 and it works quite well with myspace since they don't have the complex js apps as facebook. opera isn't ie but it isn't really 100% standards compliant- though opera fans will argue that fact- opera have their own coding quirks which has nothing to do with w3 standards

it's hard to keep up with the drug addicts working for facebook.. they keep changing things a lot, i don't know if they are testing out code or if it has to do with the purity of their cocaine during that month. of course lucky popular browsers users don't usually notice the shit that's going on but "obscure browsers"(according to an obscure cnet reviewer) hae to cope with that rubbish everytime they decide to change their drug of choice and "update" their useless browser detection js.

for a couple of weeks they attached the sniffer to the login(validation) cookie which rendered the switcher useless because it would only detect browser at initial login, so if the switcher was still set to default before the cookie was set meant that the chat and wall thingies amongst other features wouldn't function even if the switcher changed to ff and you maually refreshed..it was too late and the js already linked your cookie to 'unknown browser'= you will now be served trident internet explorer code... and that further displays their drug abuse, since unknown browsers simply can not be ie shells or clones because they use the ie ua from the registry and add their vendor to the end of it .i.e. they will always be identified as internet explorer(mozilla-compatible)

the fact that it still works with gecko 1.9(km 1.6) doesn't mean they are properly  detecting gecko as i once thought, it's only because gecko 1.9.x has more tolerance with ie non-standards- some may regard that as a step-backwards for gecko or mozilla giving up. gecko 1.8 is very strict towards nonstandard code and does not like ie bad code...and that what happens when it gets the facebook trident crap, the wall stops working, the chat box thing and image slides etc

this is the latest detection from the heroine shooters:

this is the part which causes problems
[sup]
var ua=
{ie:function()ua._populate()||this._ie;},
firefox:function(){return ua._populate()||this._firefox;},
opera:function(){return ua._populate()||this._opera;},
safari:function(){return ua._populate()||this._safari;},
safariPreWebkit:function(){return ua._populate()||this._safari<500;},
chrome:function(){return ua._populate()||this._chrome;},
windows:function(){return ua._populate()||this._windows;},
osx:function(){return ua._populate()||this._osx;},
linux:function(){return ua._populate()||this._linux;},
iphone:function(){return ua._populate()||this._iphone;}

[/sup]

if they actually do it properly,it'd save them time and code.. if those morons check for engine, they wouldn't need different strings for safari and chrome..such idiots since both are the same and then instead of having 2 strings for safari(pre 5.0) khtml, that will automatically add support for konquerer... and all browsers will function properly and if God forbid, they really decide to use their brains(if they do have any) and sniff for features instead of browser name or engine, all that crap will be reduced to 3 lines.[/quote]
