Disable Facebook timeline on Firefox, Chrome and Safari

Saw Facebook's timeline recently and didn't like it ? I didn't like it too.

Here I'll show you how to quickly disable this new feature on one of your favorite browsers i.e. Firefox, Chrome or Safari. We are basically going to tweak the browsers to represent itself as Internet explorer to Facebook

On Firefox

  • Install Useragent Switcher Extension from here 
  • Go to Tools > UA switcher > Choose the Internet Explorer 7
  • Done !

On Chrome

  • Right click on Chrome's shortcut icon and click on properties.
  • Add this string after properties –user-agent=”Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)”
  • Example: "C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" –user-agent=”Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)

On Safari

  • Go to preference menu > select “Advanced”  > tick the “enable developers menu” > Save and exit
  • Again go to preferences menu. > click the page icon menu (next to the cog wheel icon) > select the “develop/user agent” menu > choose the useragent you wish to use for the current website you are viewing > select Internet Explorer 7
