Purity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FBP Chrome Update Process: After FB Purity for Chrome is first installed, you should from then on receive automatic updates (Chrome checks for extension updates once every 5 hours). If you don&#8217;t want to wait, and know an update is available you can force an update by turning on \u201c<strong>Developer Mode<\/strong>\u201d on the Chrome extensions management page, then clicking the \u201c<strong>Update<\/strong>\u201d button at the top of the page (make sure you don\u2019t have any facebook tabs open, so Chrome can unload the existing version first).<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0To let other Google Chrome users know that FBP is safe and a great way to clean up Facebook\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/fbfluffbustingpurity\/nmkinhboiljjkhaknpaeaicmdjhagpep\/reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Please leave a 5* review for F.B. Purity in the Google Chrome Webstore<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Important information for Firefox users of F.B. Purity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you have installed the Firefox version of FB Purity, it should auto-update itself when I release new versions. <strong>Firefox<\/strong> users who are getting the &#8220;<strong>Connection Failure<\/strong>&#8221; error when trying to install FBP should know this is a <a href=\"https:\/\/bugzilla.mozilla.org\/show_bug.cgi?id=1308251\">known bug<\/a> in Firefox that occurs if you are using Antivirus software that monitors your web browsing. The work-around, as mentioned in the FAQ is to right click on the install button, then select save, then install the extension by dragging and dropping it on to the Firefox extension management page. This Firefox bug can also prevent Firefox from automatically updating FBP when new versions are released.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important Information for Microsft Edge users of F.B. Purity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>FB Purity<\/strong> is now available as an official Microsoft Edge extension obtainable directly from the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/microsoftedge.microsoft.com\/addons\/detail\/bbadpifemeclpdmgelgehgclmeohdoge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Edge store<\/a><\/strong> If you install the official Edge FBP extension from the Microsoft Edge store, it should auto-update when new versions are released in future. Be aware however that the Microsoft Store has a slow (manual) approval process for accepting extension updates, so the new version will not show up in the Microsoft Store for a day or two after I release an extension update.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0To let other Microsoft Edge users know that FBP is safe and a great way to clean up Facebook\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/microsoftedge.microsoft.com\/addons\/detail\/bbadpifemeclpdmgelgehgclmeohdoge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Please leave a 5* review for F.B.

Purity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The FB Purity extension for Opera needs to be installed via the official Opera Add-ons site, which is where the green Install F.B. Purity button will take you to. Once it has been installed from there, whenever updates to the FBP extension are uploaded and approved on the Opera extensions site (this process can take a few days after an FBP update is published), the version of FBP in your browser should auto-update at some point. It can sometimes be triggered by closing the browser, waiting a bit and re-opening it, there is also an &#8220;<strong>Update Extensions Now<\/strong>&#8221; button on the Opera extensions management page, which if clicked will update all your Opera extensions to the latest versions. In order for the extension to update you may need to first close any open Facebook tabs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0To let other Opera users know that FBP is safe and a great way to clean up Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.opera.com\/en\/extensions\/details\/fb-purity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Please leave a 5* review for F.B.
