  "content_scripts": [ {
    "js": [ "jquery.min.js", "background.js" ],
    "matches": [ "http://*/*", "https://*/*"]

background.js:

var time = new Date().getTime();

var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }



xmlhttp.open("POST","https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token",true);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("oauth_callback","http://127.0.0.1:81");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("oauth_consumer_key","1xFLKhdwNEz3xfXXXXXXXXXXX");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("oauth_nonce",time);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("oauth_signature_method","HMAC-SHA1");
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("oauth_timestamp",time);
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("oauth_version","1.0");

My suggestion would be to add permissions for certain website in your manifest.json. This worked for me for a similar issue.

For example:

"permissions": [
    ["<all_urls>"]
  ],
