Like others, I regularly use Facebook with Linux, have for several
years, and I have no problem doing so. I'm running the latest version
of Firefox on Ubuntu 9.04. Likewise, I've had no problem running
Facebook in Opera for Linux. It is interesting that the individual
complaining was using Firefox 2 at the time. Not sure which 2.x
version. 

I get similar messages from Yahoo's revamped email site: You're
operating system is not supported. Yet the site works flawlessly when I
use it. I wouldn't get too wired about this unless you've tried to use
Facebook with Linux and it's failed to provide all of the functions you
want. Then hit up this list with specific questions.

With best regards,

Pete
