im sorry but your question is not very clear to me, I couldn't say if you are facing a browser problem or something wrong in FB itself. However you need to understand that you can't chat with someone on facebook (even if they are online) until a green sign is shown next to their names. a white sign mean the person is on facebook but offline in FB chat. In the meanwhile if this is didn't help any you desperately need a chatting device I would recommend windows live messenger or Skype where you can do high quality audio, video, and typing chats.

It will just be Facebook having more problems. Just leave it for a while. Try updating your flash player too.
