Here is how the toolbar looks in Firefox :

Update your Facebook Status Message from the Toolbar: You can update your facebook status message using the browser toolbar itself. No need to open your Facebook account in a new browser tab or window.(also read: How to update Facebook status message from Google talk)

Check Upcoming Events and Friend Requests: You can also check for upcoming events and pending friend requests from the toolbar. The events and friend requests are neatly arranged in tabs as shown below:

View Your Facebook Lifestream: Click the Lifestream button and a pop up window opens which contains your Facebook lifestream. You can view any Facebook profile from the pop up window and check your message folders too.

Chat With Facebook Friends Without Opening Facebook: This makes this toolbar immensly useful. You can chat with your friends without opening Facebook in the browser. Earlier we have seen Digsby- which lets you chat and interact with all your friends in a single window. However, this toolbar is way more easy to use as it’s a browser application. [ via Snaphow]
