Cypress does not yet provide an option to disable websecurity for Firefox

See original GitHub issue

Problem:

I am unable to run Cypress on Firefox due to its adherence to same origin policy. This issue can be fixed on chrome by setting the chromeWebSecurity to false in configuration.

Cypress should provide such a solution for the firefox browser. The error message received on cy.visit(): Permission denied to access property "addEventListener" on cross-origin object

Versions

Cypress version : 4.8.0 O.S: Ubuntu 18.04 Browser : Firefox 77
