How to revert to old Facebook from Timeline?

Are you fed up of the new Facebook Timeline? Want to revert to old Facebook from Timeline view? Let me clear things before going further: You don’t have an official way to remove the Timeline and revert old Facebook profile. Also, Facebook is soon going to make Timeline default for every profile in few days to come. If you have published your Timeline and are sort of not liking it, you’re definitely thinking – how to get out of it, how to get old Facebook back without timeline, aren’t you?

But folks, in this age of advanced Web browsers, we always have one option opened for such problems: the client-side Browser extensions. Creative programmers on web listen to people likes and dislikes about such changes (like Gmail layout change and now Facebook Timeline layout) and work on browser-based addons or extensions to revert the change on client or user-side only.

We are going to utilize this facility for Web browsers to revert to old Facebook from Timeline, hence getting back our old, classy Facebook Profile without difficulty.

        Hi, I am using Chrome and Firefox both are updated and using a Window XP SP2.

        • Rahul Arora

          I’ve reverted back using the Chrome extension on my Windows XP, don’t know why you’re getting this problem. Try disabling and re-enabling it, and reloading your Facebook profile page, hope it will work then.

        Buddy, this does not works on older versions of Firefox.

        • Rahul Arora

          Update your Firefox then. New Firefox has fixed a lot of wrong things, so go for it.

          • dfree

            Yes but there are a lot of great things that don’t work on the new FF. Is there a way to make compatible with 3.6?

      Hi Jose!
      It’s working on both Firefox and Chrome for me and all of my friends. Try refreshing your Timeline after it’s installation. Hope it will work then.

  11. cowrep

    Worked for me! Thank you! :)

  12. TFD

    wow! worked for me! goodbye timeline!!! hehehe thanks :D God bless u :D

  13. sudeep

    This technique is good but the problem is it only helps us (user), well for others it will still show up as same timeline. So just not help really.

  14. Pit

    The Firefox extension works for me. I imagine that if I log into FB from another computer it will show up as Timeline though, right? Also, how do the others view your profile page? Still Timeline, right? It only modifies how you see your page, corect?

  15. Heidi

    I have Firefox .8 and it says it is not compatible…any ideas how I can get rid of the timeline? I can’t update my Firfox, because it messes with my email format. Thanks!

  18. Elena

    What if I dont want to use this application no more and want to change my profil again to timeline.. Can it be done ??
    Thank you

    • Rahul Arora

      Hi Elena!

      It’s exactly what Effie told below, you can disable the extension in the Tools menu in the Add-ons menu item. Alternatively, if you’ve the add-on bar on your Firefox (Tools » View » Add-on bar), you can toggle between the Timeline and the old Facebook using the f icon.

      Cheers!

  19. Effie

    Yes. In Firefox for example you click on the arrow to open the menu, then click on add ons and you disable or even remove if you want, Restart Firefox and you’re done. It takes seconds

    • Rahul Arora

      Hi Effie,

      Thanks for your quick reply regarding the add-on usage. Hope you’re enjoying the old Facebook view right now.

      Cheers!
