The setting is turned off by default so you'll need to turn it on. To do this, log onto Facebook and go to 'Account Settings' in the upper right corner of the screen. Then on the 'Settings' tab, click 'change' next to the account security section. Then click the check box next to '<span id="secure_browsing_checkbox_label">Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible'.</span></span><br />
