I like this! Easy recipe against curious companies: they will not receive any more information from which website I´m coming.
Smart: I can put basic settings for all but can also much easily exclude a website!

A perfect capstone on my need to protect my privacy. I've been Monstering my Cookies, Blocking my Flash, and No-ing my Scripts for a long time but, now, especially with the EU "cookie law" ramping up incentives to track without cookies, I started worrying about Referer headers.
After all, you can hardly tell Google that the Google Font Library and the Google AJAX CDN (which seems to serve everyone's jQuery these days) are illegal tracking tools... but the Referer header and a little smart coding let Google use them that way.
That's where RefControl comes in. It has a delightful little feature named "Default: FORGE" where I can satisfy most sites with meaningless fake Referer headers, but still whitelist the few sites like Snopes and Pixiv which are especially picky.
I wish there was a clear way to apply a whitelist to non-3rd-party URLs only, but aside from that, it's a perfect set-and-forget privacy tool.

This is really a wonderful add-on which gives you more privacy when surfing on the internet. It also have a great feature/option from where you can white list the websites that do not work correctly if you block the referrer. 5 stars from me :)

I wish the referer sent in FORGE mode was the ENTIRE current URL and not merely the base url

Seems to ignore rules you specify for sites, so you must have icon in statusbar to manually disable.
No contact info for support.

Haven't noticed any programs or have any suggestions. Just works for me, nice addon.

Still a great extension, clearly deserving a five-star rating, in spite of the fact that I had to revert to an older version in order regain the lost ability to disable/enable it quickly, directly from the statusbar.
RefControl does efficiently everything one needs, including many of the things other previous reviewers on this board have claimed it does not do.
RefControl 0.8.16 no longer displays the options menu when one left clicks the status bar. This is a critical feature for vimperator/pentadactyl users who choose to live without a "navigation toolbar" and without a "menu bar", and who try control everything from the statusbar or the vimperator commandline.
I hope future versions include a quickly accessible enable/disable option, if not directly from the statusbar, perhaps from the context menu.

RefControl used to show the referer as a tooltip, but it doesn't work properly with Firefox 11. When I mouse-over the icon, the word "RefControl" appears instead of showing the referer as it did before.
What happened?

The add-on works fine, but the functionality isn't what I was expecting. I thought that it was for configuring the referring URL that would get sent FROM a particular site, rather than the URL that is sent TO the site. It might help if the add-on's description were updated to clarify this.

This addon works in most cases with firefox 11,
But The ampersand characters with cgi-bin parameter is rewrited to escaped format.
So it cause break cgi working.
It occurs significantly in ancient CGI access counter uses with img src tag.

The latest update broke it, no icon in the status bar (or no toolbar button) and tried everything to get it back with no luck. Uninstalled.

I can't speak for others, but for someone who hates marketing and tracking browsing trends, this add-on is a Must-Have.
Many thanks, James, for creating this add-on!

@8-bit: Nope. Doesn't work for me. I can't drag anything onto the status bar. If I try, all I see is a stop sign. (FF 3.6.24)

Basically useless as it still seem to only block referrers TO certain sites and doesn't offer any way to block referrers FROM certain sites.
The reasons why it 'should' work like this are many, even the site for the addon lists such reasons, maybe just doesn't realise it, yet this still doesn't let you hide the referer in a useful way.
While it does let you block all referers which is a small saving grace it doesn't have a whitelist so again falls short.
