Facebook rolled out its timeline avatar last year and since then made it mandatory for all the users to switch over to it. Though timeline is designed to help you and your friends view and share your social life on one page, you may not like it. If you don't like timeline, you have the option to disable it. Here is an instructive guide for you to get rid of Facebook timeline.
Instructions:
The first thing you can keep in your mind is that the Facebook timeline does not support Internet Explorer (IE) 7 and older versions. So, if you are using any of the older IE versions, timeline will not be a problem for you. You will see the same old profile look after logging into your Facebook account. One thing for sure will happen and that is Microsoft will keep prompting you to upgrade your existing browser version to a newer one like IE 8 or so.
For other browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari etc., you can download and install F.B. Purity, a free browser extension. The extension will also work for newer IE versions. Visit the fbpurity website and download the desired edition for whichever web browser you use. When on the website, click the green Install F.B. Purity - Extension button. If your browser prevents the download, allow it to run the file.
When done, hit the Save File button to save the downloaded file to your computer. If prompted, choose a location to save the file. If not prompted, the file might get automatically saved in the Downloads folder. When done, exit the browser window. Look for the downloaded file and open it. Run the installation. If prompted, reboot your computer. When done, look for the F.B. Purity shortcut on your desktop and open it.
For example, if you are using Mozilla Firefox, open it. Click the Tools tab and navigate to User Agent Switcher> Internet Explorer> Internet Explorer 6 or 7. That's it! Now open Facebook and log in to your profile. You will no longer see Facebook timeline (if you were switched over to timeline before). It will just remain the old profile format for your Facebook profile. This will also do for the profile formats of your Facebook friends. You will see them in the old format.
If anytime you want to restore the Facebook timeline format, click Tools and navigate to User Agent Switcher and point to Default User Agent. You will start seeing the timeline format. Instead of this you can also disable the User Agent Switcher by clicking it. When done, open Facebook and log back into your account. You will see the timeline format.
Additional Tips:
Remember, if Facebook makes upgrading to timeline mandatory, even this type of tool cannot help you revert to the old profile. So, get used to timeline and wait for Facebook to scrap it.
