Thanks for publishing this easy-fix to shut off referrers in Firefox, but it would also be useful if you'd include other ways to tighten up security & privacy in the various browsers. Good luck!

For Opera anyway, only the first domain in the list is shown in either state. Internet Explorer also only shows the first domain. Note on the 31-March update…
