Have tried this in Firefox, Safari and Opera - both in Classic and New Mail environments.<p>Always ends up with 0 imported contacts. Makes me wonder if Facebook have disabled this for now... ?

Does anyone else find this amusing?<p>Facebook is so hypocritical, "We wont let you export your friends email addresses" but when there's money/profitable partnerships involved sure go ahead take all you want.<p>Michael was correct to append the second statement with "unless it’s with a partner that’s making it worth our while." This just shows the arrogance of Facebook these days!<p>Apart from that just exported 568 contacts :D

I was able to do this but I could only get 184 out of 221 contacts. Not sure what happened to the others. Could it be that they don't have an email address associated with their account?

Change your gmail address with your new yahoo email on facebook and it will work.

I'm not really sure what the big deal is here. I just tried this, and the only addresses it was able to import were for people with their email addresses set to public (or at least visible to me).<p>Has Facebook patched the issue already, or does Mike really think it's a security issue to do something automatically that you're already able to do manually or with a scraper?

Had to switch to classic mode in Yahoo mail and then turn on compatibility mode in IE9.<p>Worked great.

Sweet, just exported 1002 contacts using safari on my iPad! This makes me irrationally happy.

I was unable to export contacts to yahoo with chromium and firefox ("0 new contacts imported" message) I'm registered with gmail email on facebook.<p>Would you share do you use gmail email in fb and is export successfull?

Worked fine for me as well (using Chrome). I was able to get 591 out of 622 contacts, assuming those individuals changed their privacy settings to hide their email..

I just did this with Yahoo mail on Firefox. I just realized that it actually imported my wife's friend's emails since she was the one still logged into Facebook.

This worked for me on GNUlinux/Firefox 3.6<p>103 contacts imported.<p>I decided I wanted a backup, just in case &#60;insert_screweduser_scenario_here_&#62;

Why can't you use the API to get all of your friends' email addresses? I thought you could use an access token to query a friend for 'email'.
