FF136 adds support for sending the HTTP
Refererheader (if permitted by the referrer policy) on page refresh caused byRefreshheader or equivalent<meta>in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1928291#c9This matches spec, and also chrome and Safari behaviour. It matters because some sites rely on it - specifically Twitch.
I have chosen to add as a note to the
Refresh, because that is where the behaviour that is relied upon is changed (i.e. where you might look). It could be a subfeature.. But I think it this is the right place.Happy to change that if you have another opinion.
