wtf.. Why screen scrape Facebook from a bookmarklet, when the Graph API gives you all this and more in JSON.

The letter might hit some complications since the site is outside of US.

Weird, I've decided to leave FB and was working on doing this an hour ago. I ended up using: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ficlccidpkaiepnnbo...

You can also use this method: http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/12/how-to-mass-export-all-of-y...

but for me it only exported contacts that had their email address visible. "Facebook Friend Exporter" worked better.

Graph API does not expose phone numbers
