Assuming FB means Facebook, and you are using a current version of 
Pidgin: if you are using the XMPP method, make sure you have complied 
with step 3 in 
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=371950911048&id=210368314792
i.e. Uncheck the box labeled "Require SSL / TLS"

If you are using the third party Facebook plugin, seek help from its
