I would like to configure Firefox to AUTOMATICALLY redirect to

https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=old

whenever it encounters

https://www.facebook.com/

-because this displays the "old" version of facebook!

Anyone know how to accomplish this? I already tried the "ReDirect" plugin, it doesn't work.

Thanks for the answer, but that's not really what I was trying to accomplish.  :-) I like my current homepage, which is not facebook.

I found a workable solution, however... it's the "Custom Buttons" add on!

The reason I was looking for a "redirect" solution, is because if you inadvertently click the "Home" or "News Feed" links on your facebook page... it will revert you to the NEW layout, which sucks!
