Although no one can agree on exactly when this started showing up on Facebook, pop-up windows appear when users hover over the names of friends, pages and places in their news feeds.
Hovering over the name of a friend results in a pop-up window that displays mutual friends, a friends button that enables users to change which groups that friend appears in, and a subscribe box that enables them to adjust their subscribe settings for that friend.
Hovering over Facebook pages for brands brings up a pop-up window with the number of likes for the page, as well as mutual friends who like that page.

Facebook has not made any sort of official announcement about this specific type of pop-up window.
