Add font exception to security.fileuri.unique_origin

[jackst]

Hi,

I've stumble upon an issue with the last release of Pale Moon (28.6.1) that might be seen as a bug: local html pages cannot load their fonts from disk anymore. In my case, I have a local HTML page (no server) that use a downloaded version of FontAwesome in a subdir, and fonts are blocked by CORS.

I haven't find a way to make this work without completely disabIing the file URI origin security.

Firefox has the same problem since version 68 and they have decided to make exceptions for font files:

Would it be possible to have the same kind of exceptions in Pale Moon?


By the way, I've been using PM for years now, thank you for your great work.

Sure, there's no harm in making woff/woff2 files exempt.

Tracking in Issue #1211 (UXP)

Note: in the meantime you can set the unique_origin pref to false for your particular use case.

Thank you, that would be awesome!

And yes, I've seen the security.fileuri.unique_origin parameter from the release notes. My page is working fine by setting it to "false".
