Why Do My Friends Disappear And Reappear From My Page?

Ever since the "Click Jack Worm" hit Facebook my friends will disappear and reappear at random times. And also during all of this it will diable my Chat ( I can see that my friends are on line, but when I click to chat it tells me they are "Offline". Or if it lets me send a message then it tells me you cannot do that. Then at times it will not let me post to my friends walls, it says "You do not have permission to do this". What is going on with all of this? I have also changed my password as suggested and downloaded Firefox 3 but the problem still exists. I hope someone may have an answer to this.

This seems to be an ongoing issue. Google key words like 'friends disappearing on facebook' and look for some of the threads that have addressed this problem. I've seen at least 3 threads - 2 of which are on FB - that asked about friends disappearing and reappearing or even lists that completely disappeared (a lot of questions and threads started even as early as 2008 and I observed that many folks are still having this go on now). The only common answer seems to be that it's glitches on FB.
