Firefox open the JSON document wrongly, all I see are special character. This is the response header: X-Application-Context: lazada-promotion-web:dev:11001 Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2017 06:35:40 GMT

You can check for sandbox security related issues.

You can set this pref to 2 or 1 on the about:config page to lower the sandbox security setting.

  • security.sandbox.content.level = 1
  • close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

If '1' still doesn't have effect then try '0' to disable the sandbox.

If this didn't work then undo/reverse the change and reset the pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
