You need facebook username to use with pidgin as well as empathy. Select protocol to facebook in pidgin add account
On username section enter just username i.e. facebook.com/USERNAME will take you to your facebook public page. If you don't have one you should get it.
open pidigin accounts and edit the facebook account to the following:
Protocol: XMPP
Username: xyz (This might not be the username that you enter at facebook login page - But the one which you see on your timeline link - https://www.facebook.com/xyz)
Domain: chat.facebook.com
Resource: Pidgin (this is what is missing most of the time)
