Facebook has changed settings again. And said nothing.!
Take a look at your URL (top box on your screen.) If you see "http" or just "www" instead of "https" you DO NOT have a secure session & can be hacked. Go to 'Account'- 'Account Settings'- 'Security' (left upper side) - click 'Edit', on 'Secure Browsing'. Check the Box, then click 'Save Changes'. For FB has automatically, set it on the non-secure setting! Please copy & re-post... FOR OTHERS.!
I think this is important.

This is more for Laptops using WiFI than your Desktop using ethernet, the Facebook http and https came about because of a plug in for Firefox called Firesheep, this isn't just a Facebook thing it can be for any site, make sure you Wifi is encrypted in Public.

WPA/WPA2 are your friend!
