Where oh where has my facebook gone?

So, first facebook gets into a lot of hot water by updating their terms of service. And now, they have changed the layout completely. Some are happy with these changes, but other purists, do not.

If you are a purist, and want facebook to look the way it did beforehand, there is hope. (KINDA)
The only thing is that it requires addons to Firefox. So if you have no problem with that, then continue onward.

First off, you will need Firefox, which, if you don't have, you can get here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Now, you will need an addon for firefox called GreaseMonkey, which is here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748

Restart the Firefox browser, and go here to get a script for greasemonkey:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/44271

Click on the install button, and then wait for it to install. Once that is done, restart the Firefox browser again, and try out Facebook.

The changes aren't massive, but it should bring back some of the look of the old Facebook that a lot of us are used to.
