Bug Description

I allowed installation of webapp-facebookmessenger and it seems it only shows the normal, non-touch version of facebook page. Where is the messenger? How can I switch it to mobile version at least?

The name is such for historical reasons, and we haven't changed it for this cycle. This webapp really exposes the whole of the Facebook site, not just the messenger.

Yes I understand that, but isn't it easier to use(open) the touch version of the page? If I want to open facebook page, I can open it in firefox. If I want have quicker interface.... I should open this webapp with smaller window we all know from android web browser etc, with basic, but quicker way to share etc.

Just an idea :)
