Facebook Messenger for Windows and Firefox to close on 3 March
With incredibly short notice, Facebook Messenger has revealed that it is shutting down on both Windows and Firefox next week, and suggests that users turn to Facebook instead.
“We really appreciate you using Messenger to reach your friends, and we want to make sure you know that you can keep chatting and view all your messages on http://www.facebook.com”, a message comes up saying when users try to access the page.
This move means that Facebook will now no longer have any desktop applications. It shut down its email service earlier this week.
Facebook has become much more mobile focussed recently, as its £19bn takeover of WhatsApp proves.
