As I remember when the discussing that issue was expressed the opinion
that in the Debian's Iceweales (as an old version of FF) it was not
needing urgently to migrate to the Tor Browser Bundles.

What means the next: "Referer spoofing breaks browser navigation due to
an interaction with our content policy"? And why Mike think that the
referrer blocking feature is not very useful?
It seems to me that it - if that works without another problem - could
increase anonimity, am I wrong?
