Hi: I tried what you said. I tried it before you said to. LOL! When I put in Facebook into Finder, all I get is a bunch of recipes I've downloaded and NOT from Facebook. I also got random pictures (after I clicked on them) of other stuff including a page I had looked at a long time ago on eBay). I hit the plus sign and tried entering Facebook and nothing happened. I added a little bit of what I found on one entry of EasyFind that included Facebook and nothing happened. So....
