Ive been running your script for months and it worked great. However 2 maybe 3 weeks ago it stopped working. I am not sure if its your script or a Firefox or Facebook issue

I run the script with Firefox and installed a FF release update and shortly afterwards the script stopped working

I have also tried to send requests without your script (Greasemonkey turned off) and the Facebook "send button" is simply not available (missing)

I was wondering if this is a Firefox/Script or Facebook problem. Facebook is announcing new capabilities and I had thought they may be turning off or changing capabilities , that has impacted Suggest to Friends

Any insight or help with the issue would be very welcomed

Thanks!

In a similar scenario but not matching. Its coming up in the box when I go to suggest to friends for EVENTS but not loading when I do the same on pages. This strikes me as odd since I assumed they would have used the same call. I know it was working correctly on all just a couple weeks ago. I have no trouble on these pages manually selecting one or more friends and sending the invite, all else appears to be in order if it displays. Something is amiss somewhere. Hope this helps.

I returned to add some notes. Apparently there is a large difference between "Invite Friends" which events use, and "Suggest To Friends" which pages use.

The long string of javascript no longer works on pages. javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends').getElementsByTagName('li');for(var%20fid%20in%20elms){if(typeof%20elms[fid]%20===%20'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}

Some have noted that javascript:fs.select_all() still works on pages and events but I have not found that to be the case tonight.

Turns out that the long form will actually work on pages if and only if once I have the box open, I right click on one of the faces and select open in new tab. Once I have that box itself isolated in a tab then the long form works.

That looks like this: http://www.facebook.com/social_graph.php?class=...#

Once I'm there, then this script resumes working as well.

I don't understand what is unique about isolating that window in its own tab thought so I can't speculate much further.

The same bug also applies to all of the other scripts I've tested most of which work when the window is isolated.
