Facebook Like Button Generator Broken For Firefox Users

Written by Ironpaper | Jun 17, 2010 3:35:52 AM

We have discovered and confirmed with reports from other developers and business that the Facebook Like Button generator web page does not work for Firefox users.  The Facebook social plugin generator can be found in the developer's section of Facebook.com (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like). The tool allows users to generate a Facebook Like Button without having to code the iFrame meta data themselves.

Problem:
On Firefox, the form will generate a like button to the sample website "example.com," while on other browsers the form will generate a button to the proper destination website.
