Facebook Messenger is available only on the latest version (v17) of Firefox browser.
Millions of users already use Mozilla Firefox as their default web browser, and adding such a profound social integration certainly puts the browser a step ahead of the curve. There’s also a built-in PDF reader in Firefox for viewing the contents of the PDF file.
