Comment:

 It seems to me the Firefox patch is wrong. What we want to have is
 `network.http.referer.spoofOnionSource` and not
 `network.http.referer.hideOnionSource`. `bug_22320`
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug_22320&id=c3a849a2b5f57a4860c16975be9c12fed22ed910)
 in my public repo fixes that.

 pege: Does adding that preference fix the problem for you as well?
 Arthur: Assuming I am right could you open a Mozilla bug correcting the
 patch ("(use target URI as referer)" in `all.js` is wrong as well)?
