/*** [SECTION 1600]: HEADERS / REFERERS
|
|
|
- Only *cross domain* referers need controlling and XOriginPolicy (1603) is perfect for that. Thus we enforce
|
|
|
- the default values for 1601, 1602, 1605 and 1606 to minimize breakage, and only tweak 1603 and 1604.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Our default settings provide the best balance between protection and amount of breakage.
|
|
|
- To harden it a bit more you can set XOriginPolicy (1603) to 2 (+ optionally 1604 to 1 or 2).
|
|
|
- To fix broken sites (including your modem/router), temporarily set XOriginPolicy=0 and XOriginTrimmingPolicy=2 in about:config,
|
|
|
- use the site and then change the values back. If you visit those sites regularly (e.g. vimeo), use an extension.
