Works well, I have only one problem: why the hell it isn't included in Firefox's core, enabled by default?

The plugin should state more exactly what it does.
It seems like it sends the referrer only when requesting resources with the same domain name. AND it considers SUB-DOMAINS to be the SAME domain.

I'm using Firefox 11.0 on Mac OS X 10.8 (dev preview 2) and the plugin seems to work well.

Thanks a lot!

update: Thanks for your response, meh! I think that's a good way to handle it.

About subdomains being considered the same domain, I added an option called `extensions.smart-referer.strict` that when disabled will take as same domain the subdomains, by default it will take subdomains as different domains.

It will be there as soon as the reviewers review it.

Perfect idea because it requires no settings and works out of the box.

Great addon! Works perfectly and requires no fiddling to get it to work :D. I would love to see this move out of experimental.

good to go so far - can test here...

maybe needs a toolbar button to toggle state?

i miss another ext which, in addition to the referrer, could also spoof the UA. would be nice to see a more comprehensive header manipulation tool that worked on a per-domain basis

About the state toggling: I made the extension restartless, so you can use the already present functionality in the add-on manager.

It will be there as soon as the new version is reviewed.
