Get the Classic Photo Viewer in Facebook
Facebook has rolled out a Google+ style photo viewer that displays user comments and ads next to the picture in an overlay window. Thus, you don’t have to scroll the page to read the comments and the photo viewer adjusts itself as you re-size the browser window.
Switch to the Old Layout of Facebook Photos
If you are viewing any photo in Facebook and would like to use the classic layout – where photos are displayed on a separate page and not inside a pop-up – you can do that in a couple of ways:
- While the photo viewer is active, press F5 on your keyboard (or hit the “reload” button in the browser) to refresh the Facebook photo page. This should open the photo without the overlay.
- Or go to address bar of your browser, remove the string “&theater” from the photo URL and hit Enter.
- Or the easiest option is that you hold the CTRL key while clicking the thumbnail of any photo on Facebook and this should open the corresponding photo in a new tab but without the lightbox effect.

Caution: Deleted Facebook pics remain accessible
It may come as a rude shock, but Facebook users should not feel surprised if tomorrow they come across their photos existing in the web world despite having deleted them personally long ago.
The photos do not disappear even after they are deleted but can still be accessed by anyone with a link to the images themselves. The company admits that its systems "do not always delete images in a reasonable period of time", the Daily Mail reported.
Deleted images vanish from 'normal' views of the site, meaning if you log in to Facebook and look on somebody's photo page, they won't be visible. But they would still remain visible to anyone with a direct URL link to the picture.
That means that if, for instance, a picture has been circulated by email, the image will still be there for anyone who clicks the link.
Create a movie out of your Facebook Timeline
It's cool! Now you can convert content on your Facebook Timeline into a movie. Definition 6, a unified Marketing agency, in association with Facebook has come up with a new app - Timeline Movie Maker, which lets you create a movie highlighting moments from your Facebook Timeline.
You can also add sound tracks to your movie. Once the movie is created, the tool allows you to make changes by replacing images with something new.
Users will only be able to share movie with Facebook friends. In other words, even if you set the privacy setting of the app to public, everyone will not be able to view the movie.
The downside of this app is that you can neither embed nor download the movie. Reportedly, Definition 6 has no plans to make the videos embeddable.
Once created, you can share the movie on your own Timeline, a friend's Timeline, in a group, on your page or in a private message. But friends, who are interested in watching your Facebook Timeline movie will not get an immediate playback but will need to wait until the movie is rendered.
Paul Hernacki, CTO, Definiton 6 made the announcement via Twitter, tweeting, "Pure awesomeness- Facebook and @Definition6 are proud to launchwww.timelinemoviemaker.com - Make an instant movie of your Facebook content."
Firefox 10 to be released on Wednesday
Mozilla's move to a rapid cycle release for some of their products means that there are new releases every few couple of months, instead of once a year. The changes aren't many, but the few major changes means that the product evolves rather quickly.
Firefox 9 was released back in mid-December 2011, and the next major release - Firefox 10 was expected this week and there's news that it's going to be out tomorrow. The Firefox development builds have been around for a while, ever since Firefox 9 came out.
The new version brings along a few changes, along with a large number of bug fixes. One of the biggest features to come with Firefox 10 is improved extension support. Firefox version in the past are notorious for not letting users enable extensions that aren’t supported officially by the latest version.
Everytime a new Firefox release comes out, extension developers take a while to compile new versions, so that they’re compatible with the new Firefox build. According to ComputerWorld, Mozilla is working on a silent update feature that will update Firefox to the latest version without the user knowing. A similar feature is already in place where users no longer have to manually download updates. Currently, users can click on the About menu under Help to access. By June, Firefox 13 should be out and it should allow users to completely automate the Firefox update.
