English only!

Please answer the following questions so that we can process your bug report, otherwise, we may have to ignore it.
Also, please put your name, or a screen name, and your email above so that we can contact you if needed.
If you don't want your report to be made public, check that box, too.

Can you provide detailed steps on how to reproduce the problem?

  1. Open Facebook with AdBlock on
  2. Try to send a message to a friend using the message button in the top right

What should happen when you do the above steps
The message window should pop up at the bottom of the screen with the conversation history for that person.

What actually happened?
The message window popped up but was blank, no name of who the conversation is with or message history.

Do you have any other comments? If you can, can you please attach a screenshot of the bug?

--- The questions below are optional but VERY helpful. ---

If unchecking all filter lists fixes the problem, which one filterlist must you check to cause the problem again after another restart?

Technical Chrome users: Go to chrome://extensions ->Developer Mode -> Inspect views: background page -> Console. Paste the contents here:

    Hello,

    Facebook Messenger and Chat stopped working yesterday because of an error in the EasyList filters. The EasyList maintainers released a corrected list this morning. The filter list will update automatically, but if you'd rather not wait, you can update your filters manually:

    1. Click the AdBlock button and select Options.
    2. Click the "FILTER LISTS" tab and select update now.

    If this doesn't work for you, please feel free to reopen your issue by replying to this email.
