Setting network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy to 1 is not enough, needs to be 0. Is there a way to override that only on a specific domain?

Thank you, added to the Web Compat page!

Is there a way to override that only on a specific domain?

I really wish there was, but unfortunately there isn't.

It looks like uBlock Origin might add a filter for it though - which would be ideal, and we could leverage that instead (Issue was previously declined and closed, but was recently re-opened).

If that uBo issue never materializes, we'll have to investigate adding support for it on ex. IronFox.
