Facebook – Problem with Facebook like button in Firefox

facebook

When I click a Facebook like button in Firefox, I see the following behaviour:

  1. Blank popup window opens
  2. Window closes very quickly
  3. In-page like button updates (implying that I like the page)
  4. Blank popup window opens again
  5. In-page like button reverts to the 'not liking' state
  6. Goto 2

It is not happening in Internet Explorer. Is there a popup setting or an add-on I can use to fix this problem?

The answer is in Facebook Like button + Firefox + neverending popups.

You have to allow third-party cookies in Firefox. The Facebook like button script laughs at your futile attempt to keep your privacy safe. Yikes!
