All,
For about the last 90 days or so, I haven't been able to upload
images when filing github issues to projects that request screenshots as
part of the new-issue process.
I originally just chocked it up to a github problem and didn't take
the time to look further into it. Now, after about the 8th issue I can't
include a screenshot to, I did search and try and find an answer, no luck.
So I brought up the FF developer tools to look for errors, and I do
get errors like:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading
the remote resource at
https://github-production-user-asset-6210df.s3.amazonaws.com/. (Reason:
CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading

I tried disabling the tracker protection, no help. Does anybody know
what setting in FF is causing this? Github is no help with its chatbot
assessment other than to say, the browser wasn't able to send the file
due to a CORS issue.
I've tried creating exceptions for github.com and zendesk.github.com
(what the chatbot said was used for upload), but no help either.
I haven't yet disabled the ublock origins or noscript, but I'll test
that, what I'm wondering is if there is some known setting that fixes this?
