Open the Accounts menu. Usually, the Manage Accounts menu will automatically open after launching Pidgin, displaying all the IM accounts you linked with it. Change the Protocol to Facebook. In the Basic tab, the first option is Protocol with a drop-down arrow. Click the arrow and a list of IMs you can link to will drop down. Enter your email, Facebook username, or phone number.
