you can use opendns filtering or filter https protocol allowing only known https sites

you cannot filter https traffic because of encryption obscure url text

The only way to do that with a DFL firewall is to block the HTTPS traffic to the domain ranges used by facebook:

Create a few objects for the IP adresses

FACEBOOK_A 69.171.224.0/19
FACEBOOK_B 66.220.144.0/20

and so on.

After that, create a group that contains all those objects
IP_GP_Facebook FACEBOOK_A, FACEBOOK_B

Create a block rule before all the other rules and that should prevent the access to facebook.

Here's a suggested list of IP adresses:
