Normally, Mozilla sends referer headers for every page you got linked to.
This can be undesired for privacy reasons.
There already is network.http.sendRefererHeader=0. However this blocks all referer data.
One example of this being a bad idea is: Referer data inside domains is often used to prevent hotlinking.
For these reasons I am suggesting a preference which blocks cross domain referer data
