When making a request for (for example) http://example.com/foo/bar.baz
, Firefox sends a referer header indicating which page I clicked a link from, or is loading a picture, etc. Eg:
Referer: http://somewhere.else.com/page.html
I would like it to send
Referer: http://example.com/
instead, ie, to just send the root page of the site it's requesting from. How can I accomplish this?

The Firefox add-on RefControl can do this.
It has an option to always replace the
Referer
with the host only (stripping of the URL path). So if the realReferer
ishttp://example.com/foo/bar.html
, it becomeshttp://example.com/
.
