Extension summary

*** I had to remove the actual website's name because they had this extension removed for using their name. Sorry for any inconvenience***

Adds red bordered notification around Facebook's icon whenever you have a message or notification. This will display whether the Facebook tab is pinned or not.

I created this extension because there was no way to see if I got a message or notification because my Facebook tab is always pinned.

You will enjoy this if you are like me and would like an easier way to see the Facebook notifications.

Please let me know if there are any issues!

1.2 - Optimization with jQuery 1.3/4 - Updated manifest to make sure it includes all the Facebook URLs 1.7 - Changed words back to Facebook with new understanding of how I can use their name

Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to work. I'm going with two stars as I'm assuming it may have once worked properly, perhaps the new Facebook update knocked it out of whack? The red border only appears if you actually open up Facebook on your browser, which entirely defeats the object of installing the plug in. Shame, as I like the simplicity of the plug in design: hopefully that gets fixed (also possible I'm doing something silly: I'm on a Chromebook, no idea if that also affects functionality).
