Hi. Can you recommend add-one that enable to modify or filter headers that web sites send to my Firefox. Specially, I want to ignore X-Frame-Origin. I do this for my testing purpose, so I do not care if Firefox will show security warning or not. I tried several add-ones, but they either modify what is send, or just simply display information.

Also will appreciate help to turn off SOP, or advice what add-one code to modify to write my own, if there is no available alternative.

P.S. google chrome does not support anymore --disable-web-security. I tried it also.

Thanks.

Maybe look at proxy software to filter out this response header.
I think that you can only modify HTTP headers that are send and not the response headers via extensions in Firefox before they are processed.

Mozilla Developer Network documentation is here:

Without you mentioning which add-ons you have already tried:

I used modify-headers add one. I allow to change only send headers, not received one. I will try header tool, but it should be the same.....

Proxing is a good idea. This is to what I also came... Thanks for link. I will try it. Currently, I am considering squid installation...
