"Cross-Origin Request Blocked"-can visitor work around this?

Post by postcd »

If i am just a site visitor, not owner/admin, can i somehow access the site even it do not let me login due to error:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://domain.info/sub/sessions. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).
?

Can i turn off something in Firefox?

Here is similar issue on bug tracker: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18080

Assuming the cross-origin communication is part of the site's design and not an attack, it's possible a setting or add-on or external filter is blocking required information. Have you tested in Firefox's Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

@jscher2000 i would like to tell You but none of my Tor browsers works (alpha, stable chanels, latest release) in safe mode. It has displaying issues, hard to describe, no error, but interface can not be activated/used. May be issue of my outdated Windows. But that would be offtopic.
My Tor browsers does not have any additional non-default addons. You do not see that issue in developer console when submitting login form of the site i mentioned in the private message?

Maybe there is some documentation on Tor browser settings related to CORS issues?
