title: Facebook Like button cyclically opens and closes a popup window, facebook.com/connect/connect_to_external_page_widget_loggedin
body: <p>I associated a Facebook account with my GaiaOnline account; we use Connect to accomplish this. I created a JS Like button for a page at FB's dedicated page:  <strong>developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like</strong></p>

  <p>Upon clicking the Like button in XP/firefox 3.6.13, while logged into Gaia and FB, a popup window rapidly opens and closes cyclically until the process is terminated. This behavior is not repeatable on other windows machines, macs or chrome. Presumably this is Facebook trying to initiate a FB login page, per their third-party login process: <strong>developers.facebook.com/blog/post/312</strong></p>
  
  <p>My history identifies this page as "http://www.facebook.com/connect/connect_to_external_page_widget_loggedin.php?social_plugin=like&amp;external_page_url=http%3A%2F%2Ftest135.open.dev.gaiaonline.com%2Fforum%2Fentertainment-discussion%2Fthe-roommate-what-s-the-best-thing-about-having-a-roommate%2Ft.67947263%2F".</p>
  
  <p>A video of this transpiring is uploaded to Youtube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1asJ4kMNL6w" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1asJ4kMNL6w</a></p>
  
  <p>What is causing the popup behavior, and what can be done to fix it?</p>
