Facebook security setting

A friend of mine just posted this

Facebook has changed. 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 Settings - Click Security on the left top corner - click Edit next to Secure Browsing, Check box, click Save. FB has automatically set it on the non-secure setting! Do everyone a huge favor, copy & re-post.

Is this true? You two know more about this then I do.

Well, I just logged in to my Facebook account to check this, and the url in the address bar indicates a secure connection.

This is just an inaccurate warning that people are continuing to circulate around the Internet. It's from the time when Facebook first introduced secure browsing several months ago. It isn't possible to have secure browsing on while playing games, even now, and you used to have to turn it off in order to access them. Then you'd have to remember to manually turn the secure setting back on when you were done playing, quite a pain. (It would re-establish it's self when you logged out, then back in, though.) But now Facebook has a link at the top of the page that let's you turn it back on easily.

I wouldn't pay this warning any mind.
