People has complain a lot about the new Facebook layout and feature. They has changed a lot for this new version. Although there’s a lot of improvement, but the new Facebook profile layout is really suck and annoying. A lot of people are looking for way to get the old Facebook interface back. So, I have found this video tutorial on youtube regarding on How to get the old facebook back. It does work & awesome! But sadly, in his video he doesn’t show anything. So, I would like to re-make again his tutorial in graphic to help anyone that looking for the OLD DAMN FACEBOOK BACK!
Let rocking back the old FACEBOOK!
First, you need to have a Mozilla Firefox installed in your computer. If you still doesnt have one, go to Mozilla Firefox and download the latest one. Download, Run and installed it. It doesnt really take time.
After you have done installing Firefox, download this Firefox Add-On called User Agent Switcher to your computer.
Installed and restart back your Mozilla Firefox. Then, open back your Firefox. Now, we want to add the useragent XML file. Go to TechPatterns to get the Firefox useragent list. Then at the thread post, search for this sentenced “Download official useragent switcher xml import file” and download the latest version. Make sure you right-click the link and save link as to download the file.
After you have finish downloading the file, go back to Firefox and click Tools. Search for User Agent Switcher, then go to the options tab and click options. And then, go to user agents, then hit import, then find and select the file you downloaded “useragentswitcher“. Then hit okay.
Oke, now you have done that. To get rid of that new facebook layout and changed it back to the old facebook layout go to your facebook profile. Click on your profile to see the new facebook layout for the last time before we say good bye to it. Now, lets convert it back to old facebook layout. Click on Tools > Useragent Switcher > and select MSIE 5.5 (WINDOWS 2000).
Then refresh your facebook profile and you will have the old facebook layout again! Say Bye Bye to the new facebook now and welcome back old facebook!
If you ever wished to go back to the damn new facebook layout, just switch back the useragent to Default and your Facebook profile will turn to normal again. I still figured out how that Add-ons does this. Anyone know about it?
Add me also in facebook> Syuxx Facebook. Im not actually a die-hard fan of facebook. I only do this tutorial because it was on the number 54 in google trends to help others to get rid of the new facebook layout and enjoy back the old facebook profile.
ATTENTION! This trick is no longer work since Facebook has patched this method. I dont know where else to get back the OLD FACEBOOK or much more worse you would never get back the old facebook! If you have found the new hack/trick to get back the old facebook, you might share it with us here.
ATTENTION: Here’s the The very last way to get back old facebook trick! Same things as above, but just add the application to it while switching on useragents.
