It is not possible to obtain a profile picture from Firebase that is larger than the one provided by getPhotoUrl(). However, the Facebook graph makes it pretty simple to get a user's profile picture in any size you want, as long as you have the user's Facebook ID.

String facebookUserId = "";
FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
ImageView profilePicture = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_profile_picture);

// find the Facebook profile and get the user's id
for(UserInfo profile : user.getProviderData()) {
    // check if the provider id matches "facebook.com"    
    if(FacebookAuthProvider.PROVIDER_ID.equals(profile.getProviderId())) {
        facebookUserId = profile.getUid();
    }
}

// construct the URL to the profile picture, with a custom height
// alternatively, use '?type=small|medium|large' instead of ?height=
String photoUrl = "https://graph.facebook.com/" + facebookUserId + "/picture?height=500";

// (optional) use Picasso to download and show to image
Picasso.with(this).load(photoUrl).into(profilePicture);
