Hi, I know that ncubica's actual problem has been solved via JSONP, but just for clarity:

Firefox does indeed allow cross-domain requests, it was one of the first browsers to support the standard for them (CORS[1]). The problem is that (apparently) Flickr doesn't support CORS at the server end. A bit surprising, since they support JSONP, but JSONP is older and easier on their servers (CORS would typically involve two requests rather than one -- the OPTIONS request asking for access, and then the actual GET or POST). JSONP is also preferred over CORS right now because IE6&7 don't support CORS at all, and IE8 supports it only with special client-side code using XDomainRequest (instead of transparently in XMLHttpRequest, the way Chrome, Safari, and Firefox do). (They think a clean break with the XMLHttpRequest object is a better way to go.[2]) [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/access-control/ [2] http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/cc709423.aspx#xdomainsec_secconcernswebapiwg -- T.J.
