I am also using Ubuntu 9.04, and have been using it for about 8 months. 
I have no problem with Facebook. I was playing poker and didn't have any 
problem with the servers or switching around to any games.

As far as adding friend or data being lost that never happened. Facebook 
works as well in linux with firefox as it does in Windoze.
