I use the latest upgrade of Opera (55.0.2994.44 ) on Windows 10. The problem seems to be only with facebook since I don't have it with other pages. I have no graphic, photos or videos appear, just text. This problem don't happen when I use FoxFire. I spend way too much time on FaceBook and need to fix this, but I so prefer using Opera to anything else. Plus my Opera browser is set up for everything I do on the Internet. Please help me!

Hurry up and get a fix for switching to classic FB, I've had to use edge and it's so slow.

Try using The Old Layout. It works perfectly for me in Opera.

@thenance Try using Social Fixer instead. With it you are able to add words in posts that will hide special posts. I added "sponsored by" which zaps most of the ads. I also use AdBlocker for Facebook. Between the two, I never see an ad.

It suddenly stopped working for me. I can't tell if I have versions 6.6 or 7.2 because both versions show up in the pop-up box.

The Old Layout was working fine until yesterday's 6.6 update. I looked at my extensions and noticed I had an older version of The Old Layout, 6.2 or 6.3 as well as the 6.6 version. I deleted the early version and suddenly everything worked. Make sure to delete your older version. Go to Menu>Extensions>Extensions, scroll through your extensions and make sure you only have one for The Old Layout.

6.4 is working perfectly. I can even open it from my speed dial. Thanks.

@mattkruse Thank you Matt. I know we all freaked out when suddenly the Old Layout didn't work. It must have been crazy for you. I couldn't live without Social Fixer and now the Old Layout. Facebook would be unbearable without your creations.

@Bowaca said in Old Layout for Facebook:

@cybergata Thanks yes that fixed it, as long as I do not use the speed dial, and just use the address bar all works well, now I have to find a way that I can use the speed dial though if I think about it is not that important, thanks mate you helped greatly. B

I'm so happy it worked for you.

@Bowaca The one problem I had was I had a link on my speed dial. The Old Layout didn't work when I clicked on my speed dial, even after reloading the page. The same was true when I added a bookmark to the bookmarks. I found a weird way around this. I opened my bookmarks, and then from that tab, opened the speed dial bookmarks. I clicked on my link to open FaceBook, and it opened in the Old Layout. It takes a few extra steps, but to me it is worth doing so. I'm dyslexic and the New Facebook is way too busy for me to focus easily. I'm sure after feeling annoyed and crazy for months, I could adapt, but I am happy that I don't have to go through that by having the Old Layout, I have a dozen extensions I use and didn't have to disable a single one.

@cybergata: @cybergata: Now it is working. I don't know why it took about 20 minutes before it worked, but all is good in the end. I hate the New FaceBook.

Oh no, it isn't working for me. What do I need to do to make it work?
