Exif-viewer causes Chrome to mark secure sites such as Gmail (https) as potentially insecure (red https)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open a secure WebMail page such as Gmail (https://mail.google.com/mail)
2. Open any Email that has .JPG attachment
3. Click "View" to display the photo full screen in a new tab
4. Right click on the photo and select Show EXIF Data

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The https:// in the browser address bar immediately changes from green to red, 
indicating that your WebMail page is potentially insecure.

Closing the tab with the image does not fix the problem.  Gmail continues to be 
marked as "insecure" until you close every single Google tab and open a new 
GMail tab.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

EXIF Viewer 1.4.8
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3
Google Chrome version 12.0.742.122

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm guessing that the display of the Facebook link or Chrome icon at the bottom 
of the EXIF viewer pop-up is what causes the problem.

See attached screen clips for the red icons and Chrome's troubling explanation 
of what they mean.

I would like an EXIF Viewer option to completely disable the display of the 
Facebook link at the bottom of the EXIF viewer pop-up, if it would fix this 
problem.

Perhaps the Facebook icon could be automatically disabled whenever the source 
URL contains https://?

Hi! You absolutely right, the issue was in facebook and twitter links, so I 
remove it from any secure page and it works well now, please update to 1.4.9
