Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1. Open Online Accounts
  2. Click "Add account…"
  3. Select "Facebook"
  4. Observe that a facebook login form loads in the control center panel instead of an external browser, with a security warning.

  [Regression Potential] None: the current situation is completely
  broken as long as facebook does this http redirect during auth.  This
  fix just allows that http request.

  -----------------------------
  Desired resolution:

  Users should be warned about security passively with a notice of the
  security status on the page, rather than interrupting the page-flow.

  The security status should be displayed as an icon & text. The best place for the status is to the bottom left of the frame, balancing the legal notice link. Alternatively the status could be displayed at the bottom of the web-authentication area.
  - The icon should be similar to the icon used in the browser (browser phablet app).
  - The text should be a description of the page security.
