These are controlled by Torbutton's Preferences->Security
Settings->Headers->"Don't send referer during Tor usage" option, which
sets the appropriate Firefox settings.

> I have -network.http.sendRefererHeader          "0"           and
>             -network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferer    "false"

> These values are both changed to                      "2"         and
>                                                                                  "true"
> when I enable Torbutton.

> Aren't these configurations ways that web sites log and track users
