It sounds like a lot of people are having this problem now, but we do
not know the cause.  We do not offer support for this plugin.  You
should seek support at the official plugin web site if you would like to
continue to use it.

However, Pidgin provides support for Facebook chat using the XMPP
protocol, so we recommend using this method instead of the third-party
plugin.  If you experience issues with that method, we can provide
support here.
