The latest Facebook changes have reduced our privacy options.

First, make sure your privacy settings for Profile Information are all set to Only Friends (click on Settings, Privacy Settings at the top right of the screen, then Profile Information etc). Also remove the tick from Allow Public Search Results under Privacy Settings, Search.

Groups and pages - I don't think you can hide them anymore.

Profile picture - remove your profile photo or replace it with an anonymous avatar.

Friends - click on the edit (pencil) icon on the top right hand corner of your Friends box on the left of your profile page and remove the tick from Show Friend List to Everyone.

This is from the Facebook Help section:
"A basic set of information is publicly available, meaning it’s visible to anyone that’s able to navigate to your profile, applications you use on Facebook, and websites you connect with via Facebook. This information includes your name, profile picture, gender, current city, networks, friend list, and Pages. Any additional information (eg., photos or videos) will only be exposed if your privacy settings allow it.

Keep in mind that anyone who navigates to your profile will be able to view your publicly available information and information you’ve made visible to Everyone. While you do have the option to hide your Friend List from being visible on your profile, it will be available to applications you use and websites you connect with using Facebook. In addition, your profile picture appears in places you make comments and posts. You can always change your current profile picture or lower your search visibility if you choose."
