Can you access Facebook via a normal http connection?
Check the connection settings.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":
You can also check your security software (firewall).

My problem not fixed. Google Chrome opens facebook.com. on previous installed windows i didn't have this problem in Firefox.
Check your SSL settings
On the menu bar, click on the Firefox menu and select Preferences...
Select the Advanced panel.
Click the Encryption tab.
Verify that Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.0 are check marked.
If both boxes are check marked, this section does not apply. You can skip to the next section.
If both Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.0 are not check marked, check mark both of them.
Close the Preferences window
Try to access a secure site again. If it still doesn't work, continue in the next section.
