2 Simple Methods To Add All Your Friends To A Facebook Fan Page Or Group




Step 1: Enable your Bookmarks Toolbar (if it isn’t already)

1a: Right-click the menu bar and make sure there is a check next to “Bookmarks Toolbar”

Step 2: Add a new bookmark to the toolbar

2a: Right-click the Bookmarks Toolbar and select “New Bookmark…”


Step 3: Edit the bookmark properties

3a: Type a short name for your bookmark (shorter is better!)

3b: Paste the following JavaScript snippet into the “Location” setting

3c: Click the “Add” button (you should have noticed your newly made button by now)

javascript:elms=document.getElementById('all_friends').getElementsByTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}


That’s all there is to it! You can go test it out now. If you find that this method still no longer works for you, then Facebook is up to its silly little games again. They seem to roll-out changes to people at different times. For me, this method is still alive and well. If you can’t use this method, here’s another simple alternative for you FireFox users:

Step 1:  Install the Greasemonkey extension (found here) 

Step 2:  Install this Greasemonkey script (found here

Yup, simple as clicking the install buttons found on each of those sites. If you’ve followed all the steps correctly, you should now have 2 working methods to select all your friends on Facebook. Happy inviting!






As you may have noticed, I’ve only explained how to use these methods using FireFox instead of Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, or Google Chrome. While they may work in alternative browsers, I haven’t tested. The only browser I use is FireFox. Please feel free to tryout the other browsers and let me know how it goes for you. The bookmark method should be cross-compatible with all browsers that support JavaScript. As far as the Greasemonkey method goes, there may or may not be Greasemonkey plugins/extensions for other browsers. If there is, I can’t guarantee my script will work on them. Anyways, if you try other browsers, let me know how it goes.

If either of these methods helped you, or if you seem to be having some sort of issue with them, please post in the comments below to let me know. Thanks for reading!
ONLY the Greasemonkey script works now. You can install the Greasemonkey script as a Google Chrome extension if you don’t use FireFox…
I had a video demo of this script in action, but Facebook deleted my account and I no longer have the video. For whatever reason any new account I make, at least the ones with my identity, get deleted. Facebook officially hates me and I no longer partake in any Facebook activities, for the time being. Thanks for all your support, it was fun while it lasted.
