chrome extension popup not open immediately

Question

I\'m writing a chrome extension.

When i click the browser action button in the first time - all goes well.

When i click the browser action button the second

Answer 1

I had a similar issue with the popup when I was adding an iframe to the popup. Chrome would wait with showing the popup until that iframe was loaded.

For me the fix was wrapping the code that added the iframe to the HTML in:

setTimeout(function(){
    // Code here
},0);

This way Chrome showed the popup first, after which it begin with loading the iframe.

Maybe you have a similar problem?
