events-scrapper Broken by New Facebook layout

Script no longer runs now that the "new" Facebook layout has been forced out to everyone.

I think a potential workaround would be to set the user agent to an older browser to force Facebook to serve up the old format. Something like: PROFILE.set_preference("general.useragent.override", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko")

This older Firefox user agent seems to work, it forces FB to serve up the old layout: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0

@charles-hood Here's another solution: eventscraper.com Works with the new updates as well!

Any plans to support the new Facebook layout? Script no longer works at all, even with old browser strings.
