Hi, I am trying to switch to Firefox from Chrome. For one of my websites, it requires me to disable my Web Security.

=================================================

Instructions


Chrome needs to be ran with the --disable-web-security flag. There are several ways you can do this, but I recommend doing the following:

1. Create a shortcut


Right-click on the Google Chrome icon and click on Create shortcut.


2. Add the "--disable-web-security" flag to the shortcut


Right-click on the newly-created shortcut, click on Properties, and then add --disable-web-security to the end of the Target field. Leave a space between --disable-web-security and whatever is already in the Target field. Press OK to save the changes. (NOTE: Add --disable-web-security AFTER the quotes, not before!)


3. Kill all open "chrome.exe" processes


Open the Task Manager (via Ctrl+Alt+Del), go to Processes, and then kill all chrome.exe processes by clicking on each and clicking End Process.


That's It, you are done, it should work now!

hello onlinethlive, i don't think that there's a built-in way to do that in firefox. you might try it with an addon like this: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/forcecors/
