From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011011 BuildID: 2001101117 Shift-clicking to download any url will not send the Referer to the server when the download begins. This breaks some sites which use Referers for authentication internally in place of username/password (dumb, but hey...). Also, opening a new window on a url (right click -> open in new window) also does not send a Referer. Both behaviors are not exibited by Netscape 4.x (which does properly set the Referer) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. View any url 2. Shift-click to download a link - or - 1. View an URL 2. right-click a link and select "Open in new window" Actual Results: Document is viewed or downloaded, but because referer is not sent, this breaks some sites

-> docshell (perhaps?)
