I had Facebook set on the “new” layout, but couldn’t find something and so I clicked the link to go back to the old layout, where I knew how to find the thing I needed. I intended this as a temporary thing but now I can’t figure out how to get out of the “old” and back to the “new” layout. Heeeeelp! ☹

I accidentally added an application (I wanted to see what it was–it was on my fiancé’s brother’s page… and it seems to have glued itself to the little drop down list at the top. Being that it is nothing I’m interested in I’d like to remove it, but can’t tell how…

Go to the old facebook, remove it, and then go back to the new one?
