  Loading Google Maps plugin... 

  If you're using HTTPS Everywhere please disable it for 
  GoogleMaps since it makes the authorization request fail. 
  Tools Menu -> Add Ons -> HTTPS Everywhere Options -> Search 
  for 'GoogleMaps' -> Click on the green check mark to turn 
  it into a red x.
Is this a problem with the google maps 'plugin' or their implementation?

The authorization request that the google maps flash SDK issues to google fails when it's issued as an https request. The HTTPS everywhere plugin forcibly changes the request type, thereby making it fail.

AFAIK there's no way to fix it on our side.
