 [Due to the discussion on tor-talk mailing list]

 The Referer Header isn't disabled by default "because of
 the non-trivial number of sites that rely on the Referer header to
 authenticate image requests and deep-link navigation on their
 sites". Anyway, we need to add such option to the TorButton setting list
 just to make configuration more comfortable.

 Look up for network.http.sendRefererHeader in about:config.
