I agree with you 26F36DD. I also hate facebook at this forum. My opinion is that Palemoon is better without facebook apps.

All the monkey-see-monkey-do sheeople already have their faces buried in their phones refreshing Facebook and Twitter 24/7. Just what would more integration accomplish anyways?

How about the "Services" tab in about:addons anyway? No Social API, no service add-ons, right?

The entire social API is, however, disabled by default.

Because the potential support is there for people who insist, the UI caters to this support. So, the Add-ons -> Services tab is there, but unless you enable the API through about:config -> social.enabled, nothing will ever be shown under services.

Consider it similar to the built-in PDF viewer: it's available for people who really want it, but completely disabled by default.

Shouldn't that tab depend on the option?

Yes, it should - and if you would like to see it addressed, it's something that should be done in the Firefox code base since it applies to that as well -> File a bug report in Bugzilla!

I don't see why not -- they already dynamically hide categories depending on prefs otherwise (e.g. languages) so it would be in line what is already done.
Practically, it is probably copy-paste with a few edits, as long as you know where.
