In Firefox, how do I do the equivalent of --disable-web-security
in Chrome. This has been posted a lot, but never a true answer. Most are links to add-ons (some of which don't work in the latest Firefox or don't work at all) and "you just need to enable support on the server".
- This is temporary to test. I know the security implications.
- I can't turn on CORS on the server and I especially would never be able to allow localhost or similar.
- A flag, or setting, or something would be a lot better than a plugin. I also tried: http://www-jo.se/f.pfleger/forcecors, but something must be wrong since my requests come back as completely empty, but same requests in Chrome come back fine.
Again, this is only for testing before pushing to prod which, then, would be on an allowable domain.
Almost everywhere you look, people refer to the about:config and the security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy. Sometimes also the network.http.refere.XOriginPolicy.
For me, none of these seem to have any effect.
This comment implies there is no built-in way in Firefox to do this (as of 2/8/14).
The Chrome setting you refer to is to disable the same origin policy.
This was covered in this thread also:
Disable firefox same origin policy
about:config -> security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy -> false

From this answer I've known a Firefox extension and it works for me.
You can find the extension here.
While the question mentions Chrome and Firefox, there are other software without cross domain security. I mention it for people who ignore that such software exists.
For example, PhantomJS is an engine for browser automation, it supports cross domain security deactivation.
phantomjs.exe --web-security=no script.js
See this other comment of mine: Userscript to bypass same-origin policy for accessing nested iframes
