the the popup window (“flyout”) of a like button doesn't show up in a chrome extension

Question

i am trying to put a like button on a page in a chrome extension that i've developed.

i use the simple XFBML version:

<fb:like href="http://www.mydomain.com/page?param=1&amp;otherparam=2" send="false" layout="standard" width="400" show_faces="false" font="arial" ref="chrome_notification"></fb:like>

and of course i use the JavaScript SDK.

when i upload this page into my webserver, everything works just fine. but when i run this page within my chrome extension, the like button itself works just fine, but the comment popup doesn't show.

in addition - i get these error masseges in the console:

Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL chrome-extension://eindnjdghfmigkecgibjclhdnadlnbhm/../mypage.html from frame with URL https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?api_key=&channel_url=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fconnect%2Fxd_proxy.php%3Fversion%3D3%23cb%3Df3d383d278%26origin%3Dchrome-extension%253A%252F%252Feindnjdghfmigkecgibjclhdnadlnbhm%252Ff44dd2768%26relation%3Dparent.parent%26transport%3Dpostmessage&extended_social_context=false&font=arial&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain.com%2F%3Fparam%3D1%26otherparam%3D2&layout=button_count&locale=en_US&node_type=link&ref=chrome_notification&sdk=joey&send=false&show_faces=false&width=400.

Answer 1

Could it possibly by related to this known Facebook bug?

Basically, one gets this behavior if secure browsing is enabled on the Facebook user's account.
