it works now with firefox 3 (v0.9.5) :)
I actually would like to see some reviews about the extension
on the addons.mozilla.org refspoof page .. if you have some time to spare :) :)
for help, comments or suggestions post at the new refboard
if you want to send some mail use "refspoof AT gmail DOT com" ..
for a short explanation watch the screencasts
if you found a bug use preferrably the bugs page
Click here to test the referer propagation
test here how referrers are handled by https (you need to add an exception to firefox to test this)
Where to download / install?
go to the addons.mozilla.org refspoof pageand click the green "Add to Firefox" button
if you want to install a version manually get it from the installation page
something doesnt work!
read the FAQ about "it doesnt work!"What is it ?
A simple toolbar that allows to load a page with a different referer.What is changing the referer good for?
That is up to you.But if you have a need for this you probably know the answer already. Maybe you want to hide where you really came from, or maybe your a web developer who needs to test some features on your website. Pornzilla might give you another idea ;) ..
or you might want to access a (wsj) newspaper article as if it was posted on digg.com (screencast)
