Anyone here also been forced on to Facebook's new design? I was last night, and it's really annoying me especially as FBP (a really useful addon) no longer works so I am unable to turn off all the annoying parts I don't use. Never understood why they have to change what works. Apparently changing the browser to pretend to be Safari V10 gets back the old home because the new stuff does not work properly.

Not sure I'd say Facebook works.  I'm absolutely sick of how often the Reply button fails to tag the person I am replying to and See More fails to actually LOAD at all.

I think my wife is having issues with the new facebook, it shows adverts she cannot bypass without viewing.

I'd be willing to guess that there is no standard and thus why it can break, as its having to completely guess which fields are passwords.

Firefox only recently implemented theirs and I started trying it out, compatibility seems all over the place.  Some websites actively try to block the browser detecting a password field so you can't even save your login, let alone generate a random one.

I got the new version a few weeks ago.   Its supposed to be simpler, but i cant find anything - such as groups.  A lot of the add-ons such as SFX no longer work properly because the layout is so different.   

I was able to switch back to the old design.  From the down arrow [next to the ? for quick help] on the top right,  there's an option "Switch to old version".

still on the old layout, I only really registered because all of the covid19 support groups are there.

That's not there on mine.

Fluff Busting Purity the Facebook clean up add-on has been updated today and now works (mostly OK) with the new design and allows a method to switch back if Facebook does not give it to the user.

I'm not a fan of the new layout design. It seems to be mobile-like in its simplicity.

It seems dumbed down. I'm a member of some groups and notifications only appear on that drop down menu with every other notification.

Before you could see some of the groups on the left side with a number next to it signifying that there had been a new post.

Very poor.

I wonder how many people access facebook from a computer vs a mobile device these days.

I use a browser even on my phone and tablet because I don't like Facebook deciding which posts are most important I always look at them in chronological order newest first. I agree about the numbers missing on the groups. I use FBP because it lets me manage how the page looks and what kind of posts to show me, and it expands my groups when I log in, but that is less useful now the numbers are missing.
