This has been patched and no longer works

Ever want to get the old facebook back? Even after facebook says you can’t? Well you can still hold onto your precious old facebook a bit longer by using firefox and a smidge of elbow grease. Hopefully by the time facebook screws up fixes this method you will be able to choose which layout you want again.

1. Download firefox if you don’t have it.
2. In firefox click on this link and install the “User Agent Switcher“
3. Once installed it will ask to restart firefox, let it restart it.
4. Go to tools > User Agent Switcher > Options > Options
5. Then Select user agents on the left and click the button labeled “Add” which will appear on the right and have it look like this:
   • Description: MSIE 5.5 (Win 2000)
     User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0 )
     App Name: Microsoft Internet Explorer
     App Version: 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)
     Platform:
     Vendor:
     Vendor Sub:
6. Click ok and ok again then go to Tools > User Agent Switcher > MSIE 5.5 (win 2000)
7. Now click on this link: http://apps.new.facebook.com/?fbnew_opt_out=1
8. Congratulations you will be back at the old facebook!

Beware some sitse may not like you switching user agent, if they look different or don’t work you can go to Tools> User Agent Switcher> and select Default to go back to normal. I know(and am sorry) this isn’t as detailed as most tutorial if you have any questions you can ask us in the forums… Figured people wanted this asap and i am very busy to put a video or something up.
