MenuTab for Facebook 4.1-Quickly access Facebook in your menu bar

*MenuTab for Facebook* is a handy app that sits in your menu bar and allows
you to quickly access your Facebook. MenuTab for Facebook is a great app if
you're a Facebook addict and don't want to miss a single notification. The
*icon will light up red* whenever there is a new notification or message. You
can assign a *custom keyboard shortcut* to access MenuTab for Facebook even
more quickly. While most of the features of Facebook are retained, MenuTab
for Facebook is still limited because it is *basically the mobile Facebook
page*. You can still have Facebook Chats, but the interface left much to be
desired. You can't press return to send your messages - instead you have to
click "reply" every time. Thankfully, you can still access links from within
MenuTab for Facebook. They will *open up in your default browser* for
viewing. Another interface inconsistency we noticed when opening links was
that the mobile Facebook site warning about leaving Facebook would show up.
MenuTab for Facebook is free to use but it *serves up ads* at the bottom of
the window. There is MenuTab Pro for Facebook, which gives you a bunch of
features like different color notifications for different events, an improved
Facebook chat interface, a resizable window, and gesture support. *Overall,
MenuTab for Facebook is a great way to keep up with your Facebook, but the
pro version offers an even better experience - and is still a reasonable
price.*Download *MenuTab for Facebook 4.1* in Softonic
