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.

Add-on summary

Repositories GitHub GitLab

This is a firefox addon that allows the user to enable CORS everywhere by altering http responses.

Note

  • It is important to understand that this addon does not actually disable any kind of security within Firefox. It merely alters http requests to make the browser believe the server has answered favorably. This means the http requests have to be valid and follow the CORS rules.
  • This addon is now a WebExtension.
  • Android is untested therefore not officially supported. Android platform support #15
  • In Firefox 74.0, the addon can not operate on local files (using the file:/// protocol). This is apparently fixed in 75.0. Firefox 74.0 #32
