Clicking a contact gives me "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (person) isn't associated with any program.", and I had to disable both NoScript and Adblock Plus, otherwise clicking the Facebook connect button would give me a blank page.

You'll see that all we persist is the facebook ID and display name of a friend; everything else is fetched dynamically when you view the person record, using the Graph API. That is, incidentally, why the display of Facebook data sometimes stops working -- we're having some trouble maintaining our access token. "Refreshing" the Facebook connection renews our access token, which lets us do live retrieval of the data again. Take a look at the "Show Data Sources" link on a contact record, Paul.

If not what is the principle at work, that Facebook agrees to, that makes this data scraping/capture not a violation? Isn't this a violation of Facebook's TOS (even the latest iteration)?

I have some ppl who have a mc before there last name, sometimes they have a space other times its just one word. The ability to merge entries would be a major plus for this add on Love this with one minor exception.
