hmph. im getting sick and tired of the facebook pop out window thing grrrr. there are no updates for me to do though!
edit: deleted account and remade it.. no dice. sooo annoying.
That's... a bit bizarre. I'm running the most recent beta and stable on my Leopard iMac and Tiger iBook, respectively. Try re-downloading manually from the Adium site.

lol woops 1.4b9 is my model. it says ther are no updates for me but
i will download direct from the site thanks for the link.
Mine was doing this until I went to the latest beta, however I have disabled the facebook chat due to the annoying sound of people signing on and off every couple of minutes. I need to look into seeing if there is a way to disable those sounds for just facebook
No, unfortunately you can't adjust the notification settings on a per-account basis, only per-contact or en masse.
Yea, thats what I figured, ugh too bad I dont mind being on facebook chat, but the dinging ever few seconds is annoying and I like having the notification so I can check to see if someone I want to talk to is coming on. Well and I kinda like my sound events I setup
ok ive tried so many things to get FB chat working but it just refuses to.
1. i downloaded the latest 1.3.8 which states that its working, it isnt!
2. i tried an older version on my hackintosh and that didnt work
3. i tried the latest beta and that didnt work.
4. i tried on my imac with 1.3.7 and no dice there either.
5. i also deleted the facebook account from adium and then re-added it.
wth is wrong here

Well, the only remaining variable that I can see is the Facebook account itself. Try creating a dummy account and see if that works. It's not a solution, but it might be a good indicator if it's worth pursuing the matter any further.
If it helps, I had the CAPTCHA persist earlier today, so I disabled the account for half an hour or so and it worked fine when I re-enabled it.
Alternatively, you could just wait for Facebook to come out with the promised XMPP API.

thanks for the quick reply blue
it never gives the CAPTCHA option, it signs in then signs straight back out. and loops forever
my account hasnt been working for at least a month! i have tried many times to get it to sign in. i wonder if it has anything to do with whether your facebook is signed in at the same time? ill try a few different combinations and see how i go.
do you know when the XMPP API will be released?
When Facebook Messenger support was first added to Adium, it had a horrid habit of signing users out of the website. That has thankfully been fixed, although I do find myself occasionally having to log in despite having cookies saved.
Regardless, it always works for me whether I'm logged in or not, or even on the site while actively using Facebook Messenger in Adium. (The Facebook Messenger popup appears on the website as well with the other party's messages, but your own sent messages only appear where you send them, on the website or in Adium.)
Yeah, about six months ago.
I remember reading more lengthy and eloquent discussions of the problem, but there's a rather succinct blog entry on the subject on the Adium blog.
I wish there was an alternative to this garbage, here we are months later and Adium still won't work with Facebook . . . . it worked for me for a while and then I opened Adium on another Mac and then hey presto the non stop capture loop. Now I can't log into Facebook on either Mac, all I got are endless capture pop ups that never accept the words they are prompting. How tedious can you get . . . . .
hmmm its just so frustrating! i will upgrade to the latest SL tonight and have a play around and see how i go.

oh, right! ha! they sound a bit like microsoft msn for mac
Hi, you can solve that irritating verification system, its explained here:

Good news! Facebook Chat now works with Jabber/XMPP, which means you no longer have to rely on the buggy hacked-together interface that Adium uses. I'm sure the next version of Adium will replace the Facebook Chat bit with a custom Jabber system, but until then, you do it yourself like this:
1. If you have not already registered for a Facebook username, do so. If you're not sure, the linked page will tell you. Your username is the text following "http://www.facebook.com/".
2. Go to Adium -> Preferences -> General.
3. Uncheck your existing Facebook Chat account in the list if it's selected.
4. Click the + button in the bottom-left corner of the window and select Jabber.
5. For Jabber ID, type "[your username]@chat.facebook.com", and use your normal Facebook password.
6. Click Options, then deselect all of the checkboxes under Security.
7. Click OK.
These instructions are based on the Pidgin tutorial that I found elsewhere.
