CORS Everywhere - A Firefox Add-on to Enable CORS

'CORS Everywhere' is a Firefox add-on designed for developers, altering HTTP responses to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in all domains. It wisely manipulates HTTP requests to make browsers perceive affirmative server responses, keeping rules for valid HTTP requests intact. Note that this add-on only alters requests and does not disable security features within Firefox. It comes with a simple customizable toggle button to enable or disable the feature.
