Referer Header is removed from the HTTP GET requests which I made through my add on. Tried updating the referer settings but no luck. Attached the modified settings. All other settings are default.
Note: Using Latest FF. Version - 94.0.2 (64-bit)
Attached screenshots
Do you have a host permission for the host you’re making the requests to? Where are you making the requests from?
I haven’t tested, but according to the documentation:
Content scripts get the same cross-domain privileges as the rest of the extension: so if the extension has requested cross-domain access for a domain using the
permissionskey inmanifest.json, then its content scripts get access that domain as well.This is accomplished by exposing more privileged XHR and fetch instances in the content script, which has the side-effect of not setting the
OriginandRefererheaders like a request from the page itself would; this is often preferable to prevent the request from revealing its cross-origin nature.Note: In Firefox, extensions that need to perform requests that behave as if they were sent by the content itself can use
content.XMLHttpRequestandcontent.fetch()instead.
