Facebook only give us tiny avatars via the XMPP interface, there's not a lot we can do without being able to change their servers.

With the ongoing metacontact work it will be possible to set up an Akonadi Facebook resource (which uses the other Facebook API) and then associate those contacts together; thus giving you the better avatars.
