How to get old facebook back

Facebook  has changed almost everything on it since last year. The new chat, ticker, video chat, timeline profile are just a few examples. The everchanging design and features of  facebook are very annoying sometimes. There are many  irregular facebook users, who come online after a gap and find everything changed and many find it difficult to get acquainted with the new features.

The recently launched facebook timeline profile has had mixed reactions from the users worldwide. The facebook timeline refreshes the spirit of facebook and makes it easier to navigate between post right from your first update to the most recent one. But the facebook timeline has its own issues. It has been rated as difficult to understand, cluttery by large no. users. It also has some privacy issues. As facebook has announced making facebook timeline mandatory for all, many online petitions and groups have been started to get the old facebook profile back. But as it seems the old profile has gone now and it would not be possible to access it directly. But you can access old features of facebook indirectly through many applications present over the web. Below I have written about how to get old facebook back via  browser plugins for Chrome & Firefox. I reasonably expect you not using IE. :D
