Answer 1

Another workaround is to use this code after you call FB.init():

if (/chrome/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase())) {
    FB.XD._origin = window.location.protocol + '//' + document.domain + '/' + FB.guid();
    FB.XD.Flash.init();
    FB.XD._transport = 'flash';
}

The pop-up window remains open and blank, but I found that in my Chrome Web Store app, the authentication goes through when this code is used.

In IE8 - this can be caused by your flash version. I tried everything and nothing worked until I disabled flash. More details from this blog:http://hustoknow.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-facebooks-xdproxyphp-seemed-to-have.html#comment-form
