Expectedly, you can use it via https://www.google.com/.

Firefox’s built-in search capabilities still use the unencrypted search, though. To remedy this I built an OpenSearch plug-in which makes Firefox use the HTTPS-based search:

Just add these four rules to Adblock Plus:

||facebook.com$third-party
||facebook.net$domain=~facebook.com,third-party
||fbcdn.com$domain=~facebook.com,third-party
||fbcdn.net$domain=~facebook.com,third-party

Instead of adding the rules manually, you can subscribe to this Adblock Plus filter subscription: Facebook Connect Opt-Out.
