Facebook has introduced a new photo viewer which uses a light box to display the photos. However, if you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like using the new viewer, you can go back to old way with a simple adjustment to the browser address bar.<\/p>\n

Now simply remove the &theater<\/strong> part and hit Enter<\/strong> on your keyboard. You will be back to the Old Photo Viewer.<\/p>\n
