Back in November I posted about the Firesheep issue with Facebook, and it appears that two months later Facebook is finally doing something about it!
Facebook has announced that they've enabled the ability to use their service over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), which addresses the issue with accessing Facebook over unencrypted WiFi (think Starbucks or McDonald's.)
You'll need to go into your account settings and enable this feature, which I recommend doing immediately. Go to Account -> Account Settings -> Account Security and enable "Secure Browsing."
