[QUOTE="BobHas, post: 1942443, member: 387208"] No luck so far. I could try to list the problems I have had trying to do the things above, but most would steer us off in other directions that are likely to be distractions. On this Monterey 12.7.4. looking in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> each of the 20 items listed in the left column (Location Services, Contacts, ...) I do not see any mention of Messenger. Looking in the same places on the High Sierra and Catalina systems, where Messenger does seem to be working, I also do not see any mention. I suspect part of this involves upgraded security design in the newer OS versions. For reference the problem version on Monterey show About Messenger (in its problem state) shows Version 208.0. On the Catalina system it shows the same version number. the version is 97.11.116 ((because there isn't an update for Messenger for the old High Sierra OS). Now interesting, whenI went into Messenger on the Catalina machine I saw new screens involving logging in to it, and offering to login via Facebook. I don't recall that ever came up before. Some of the past comments suggestthat there has been a change in the way the Messenger works, involving Facebook. I have not seen anything about what is going on with it. [/QUOTE]
