What is Facebook Pixel Helper?

Looking for a nifty browsing tool that can tell you immediately if your FB pixel is firing properly? You found it!

Overview

Facebook Pixel Helper is a Google Chrome Browser extension that automatically reviews any website for a Facebook Pixel code. When a code is found, the extension will light up with a green box. Once lit, you can view the Pixel code and compare to your own to determine if your Facebook Pixel is firing properly.
