It was required as my macbook does not support middle click with the trackpad.. hopefully it is a temporary fix and the multitouch goodness will allow tripple tap for middle click =) please !

When visiting a webpage, your browser send the referer which is the URL of the previous webpage from which a link was followed. Some web sites log referers, for advertising or other purposes. Eventually you want to never send out the referer information to increase you privacy. It can be configured in firefox, but then it will cause problems: some sites disallow to download files if you don’t send them the referer (anti-leech feature).

Hopefully, you can now use Send Referer to answer to this problem !

Features

• Allow to send referer header when openning a link with right-click menu . ( ie: to be able to download from a site with anti-leech feature)
• Without referer header otherwise to increase your privacy
• CTRL+Click to open in a new tab, SHIFT+Click to open in a new window

How it Works

Browse the web as usual, except that your browser won’t send referer header. When you come across a link you can’t follow without referer, right click on it and use “Open Link with Referer Header”. Sending Referer Header will be enable for 7 seconds and then it will go back to no referer mode.

How to Install
