 While reading through various about:config security hardening guides, I
 found several bad default values for the Tor Browser:

 - network.http.referer.trimmingPolicy = 2
   - Send only the scheme, host, and port in the Referer header
     - 0 = Send the full URL in the Referer header
     - 1 = Send the URL without its query string in the Referer header
     - 2 = Send only the scheme, host, and port in the Referer header
