Features & Capabilities

App for Messenger™ is a lightweight and easy-to-use Chrome extension that enables you to use Facebook Messenger directly from your desktop on PC, Mac, or Linux. Unlike traditional tabs or browser sidebars, it opens Messenger in a standalone, resizable window with an always-on-top feature, perfect for multitasking without browser clutter.

This unofficial app functions as a wrapper around the original Messenger web application, providing a simple popup UI accessible from the toolbar. When active, the toolbar offers six intuitive buttons with helpful tooltips that disappear automatically, streamlining your messaging experience. Note that you must have a Facebook account to use this app, and this extension operates independently from the official Facebook Messenger service.

User Reviews

The App for Messenger™ Firefox add-on is praised for its quick installation, clean interface, and lightweight permission needs. Users appreciate it opening Messenger in a separate pop-up window, facilitating multitasking. However, common issues include missing window controls (notably on Linux), occasional slow or failed loading, lack of notification support, and the need to manually resize the window. Some users find the instructions insufficient, and there's mixed feedback on whether opening Messenger as a new window improves usability.

Pros

Actively works and opens instantly, providing quick access to Messenger.
Simple and clean interface, mimicking an improved Firefox window for Messenger.
Requires fewer permissions compared to other methods.
Opens Messenger in a separate pop-up window, which some users find more convenient.
Easy and quick installation through Firefox add-ons.

Cons

Lacks features like minimize and maximize buttons, especially on Linux, causing window management issues.
Loading times can be long or fail to load at times.
Opens Messenger in a new window that needs manual resizing and doesn't replace browser tab functionality.
Missing notification support within the app window.
Some users find instructions unclear or the usage confusing.

Is App for Messenger™ Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

App for Messenger™ requires very minimum permissions.
