Bug Description

I am trying to set up Jira Assistant for my company's Jira server and getting this error in the network logs.

Previously I faced another CORS error until I added moz-extension://5bb4c444-5db8-4384-a9b4-6fa21bd381e3 to the server's CORS Allowlist.

Here are the failing request and response:
