I am going to show you two (2) methods of obtaining your Facebook contact information; Names and email account information. One via a browser extension\/add-on and another via using an \u2018intermediary\u2019 email account \u2013 in this case Yahoo. <\/p>\n
As I have written many times I love me my Firefox browser.<\/em><\/strong> With the add-ons\/extensions and tweaks I use, I am able to make use of my Browser as my most important productivity tool. With Firefox extension\/add-ons and Greasmonkey extensions I have been able to do just about everything I’ve ever needed to with a browser. <\/p>\n I do also use Internet Explorer for some of my Microsoft sites where it is needed and Google Chrome – though primarily a portable version and\/or on my Linux builds. It is also good to check any site building\/scripting in all these browsers for differences in behavior.<\/p>\n One reason I don’t use Chrome that often is that although I love many things Google (Gmail and Google Apps in particular), I don not like the fact that just about EVERYTHING you type into Chrome address bar<\/em> gets sent back to Google<\/a>! AND the ‘google updater’ is constantly running in the background.<\/p>\n For this reason I use Chrome portable. You can pick up the latest version here<\/a>. [For a Standalone Installation<\/strong> – To install a portable app by itself, or manually, just browse to the location of the [AppName]_Portable_x.x.paf.exe file you downloaded. Double-click the file to start the installation. Follow the on-screen prompts and select the location you’d like to install to. Within the directory you select, an [AppName]Portable directory will be created containing the portable app.] <\/em><\/p>\n Method 1 \u2013 Chrome Extension:<\/strong><\/p>\n This extension allows for exactly what it says. You can install this plugin, log into Facebook, go to your ‘Friends’ page and then export all of your friends profile information that is contained in YOUR<\/em> Facebook profile page(s). Two methods of exports Notes: Additionally I may upload a copy of my portable Chrome build with all the extension already packed in; but that will have to come later.<\/em><\/p>\n Method 2 \u2013 Via Yahoo:<\/strong><\/p>\n Another simple method to get Facebook contact information is to use a Yahoo email account.<\/p>\n \u00b7<\/b> Import Facebook Contacts into Yahoo Mail<\/b><\/p>\n Create a free email account at Yahoo Mail if you don\u2019t have one or a use a new one to keep your contacts separate. Make sure you can send a test email out \u2013 to \u2018verify\u2019 your account. Log out of the Yahoo Mail account, once created. Close all open browsers.<\/p>\n Open a new instance of a web browser and enter the URL for Yahoo. Log into your \u2018general\u2019 yahoo account. [make sure if you have the \u2018redirect remover\u2019 Firefox add-on installed in your browser to disable it temporarily]<\/i><\/p>\n Click the "Facebook" button usually down on the lower left hand side. A login prompt will appear requiring a valid Facebook user ID and password.<\/p>\n Log into the Facebook account where the contacts reside you wish to get. Open a new \u2018Tab\u2019 in your browser and type in Yahoo.com (you should still be signed in there too<\/u>.) As soon as you logged in through the Yahoo Address page, the Facebook contacts will be available in Yahoo Contacts. Open the Yahoo \u2018Contacts\u2019 and choose to \u2018get\/import\u2019 your contacts. A Facebook icon will be displayed and you will be asked if you are sure you wish to import them. Say yes of course and in a few moments all your Facebook contacts (names and email addresses contained in Facebook address book) will now be in your Yahoo Contacts! That simple!!<\/p>\n Contacts that are in Yahoo can then be exported for use in many other email applications. You can choose to export in a few different \u2018.csv\u2019 file formats, a single Outlook file format or a zip file containing all the individual files in an \u2018address book card\u2019 files format (.vcf). .VCF files can be imported into many applications \u2013 Gmail being one, not just Outlook.<\/p>\n \u00b7<\/b> Export Facebook\/Yahoo Contacts as a CSV File<\/b><\/p>\n Click on the "Address Book" tab in Yahoo Mail.<\/p>\n Select "Address Options."<\/p>\n Click "Import\/Export." The Export dialog box will open.<\/p>\n Click the button labeled "Export Now" next to the email client the export will be imported into. For example, if the exported CSV file will be imported into Outlook, select "Outlook."<\/p>\n Type a file name for the CSV file into the input box, when prompted and click the "Save As" button. Save the CSV file. The file is now ready to be imported into the specified email client or utilized as data.

Now for the fun! I just found a Chrome extension that is totally awesome but so far is not available or does not have a like kind for Firefox 4. Get a copy of Chrome and install this extension – It is called the <\/strong>"Facebook Friend Exporter", get it here.<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n
This extension will allow you to get your friends information that they shared to you:
– Name
– Emails
– Phone numbers
– Screen names
– Websites
– Address
– Birthdays <\/p>\n
– CSV file (if you have many friends, greater than 500, it will be very slow)
– Gmail Contacts (It will place them into a folder called "Imported from Facebook")<\/p>\n
– An "Export" button will appear on Facebooks toolbar on the top.
– Click on it and it will open a screen to start processing.
– Depending how many friends you have, this may take a very very long time to complete.
– For example: Exporting 100 friends will take at least 30 minutes!!<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n
