I managed to install ExtractFace, overcome the various errors and get things running. I've tried working with Dump Friends but get some unpredictable results. When I dump my friends I get 208 of my 219 friends. When I dump my cousin's friends, I get 28 of her 1,219. When I dump my other cousin's friends I get 28 of his 160. I've tried restarting Firefox, restarting MozRepl, and ExtractFace to no avail. With a measurable amount of luck, this link will bring up the current configuration of the various components I think are pertinent. Configurations/Versions
Thanx for any help.

Hi Brian,
You can try to increase "Time for loading". It's the time to wait after each scrolling action, to see if it reaches the bottom of the page. If Firefox is running slow, content is not displayed on time and ExtractFace thinks it reaches the end of the page.
Another thing you can do to accelerate Firefox is disable image (https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/981640). When Firefox doesn't have to load each image after scrolling page, it goes faster.
If you wanna get image in the final output, you can use HTML report :
1. Disable image in Firefox 2. Use Dump Friends with HTML report 3. When report is opened at the end of process, enable image in Firefox 4. Reload the page 5. Use "Save as" function in Firefox, so images will now be included as local files
To be sure you get all friends, look at the original page, scroll down to the bottom. If the last friend in page is the same in your ExtractFace report, it means you get all.
Hope that helps!
Alain

I turned off images as described.
Set time for loading at 180 and let run overnight.
789 friends out of 845.
The first and last friends are listed in the resulting spreadsheet.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
If the last friends in the page is in your spreadsheet, then you must have all. Are you sure that the 845 number is reliable ? Did you find any friends missing in the spreadsheet ?
