It looks like you forgot to actually include any code for a listener. Try something like this 

chrome.webRequest.onBeforeRequest.addListener(function(d){
  return {cancel:true};
},{urls:["https://www.facebook.com/ajax/messaging/typ.php",
         "https://www.facebook.com/ajax/mercury/mark_seen.php",
         "https://www.facebook.com/ajax/mercury/change_read_status.php"]},
  ["blocking"]);
