Making crossdomain ajax requests with addons for F

问题:

I'm a bit confused about how you can or cannot make crossdomain ajax requests in addons for Firefox. Addons such as LastPass and Xmarks suggest you can do it, however when I try to google how you do it, everyone seem to say you cannot, unless the user has set a preference in the settings of Firefox. If crossdomain isn't possible, then how do Xmarks, LastPass and other addons handle the communication with theirs respective servers?

回答1:

You most definitely can make cross-domain XMLHttpRequests in Firefox add-ons.
