Facebook is quite accessible on the mac, but I'm totally with Erick. It does take a lot of effort, way more than probably needed, to get used to. I can get it to work in really anything that uses the Safari framework web kit. This means, Safari, Chrome, without mind you Chrome vox, Lightning works good with it for what it's worth, and of corse web kit itself nightly build works fairly well.
I've seen the focus issues you're talking about Erick. What parts exactly are you finding to lose focus. Here is a little tip for ya. if you're talking about when you go to comment on a status, once you type the comment, don't? tab! What ever? you do, don't? tab, or hit vo+anything! If you do, you're gonna lose focus. Amost guaranteed. Instead, to post, just hit your return key. I don't think in the latest FB update that you can do carriage returns anymore, so return'll just post. You could try, ctrl+return, or option+return, but I don't think those'll do it. Yeah, it'll word wrap on its own, sure, but I'm saying, if you literally wanna manually make a return.
