I have an addon that has a toggle button.  
When clicking on the toggle button I open a panel, which displays an HTML page.  
From that page I perform an XmlHttpRequest to our servers, the request is sent without any cookies.

I tried adding the following to the package.json file:

```auto
"permissions": {
        "cross-domain-content": ["MY_URL"]
    },

```

But that didn’t work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you see any errors in the console? Have you tried sending the request from the background script?
