Twitter is broken when PrivacyFox is enabled
With PrivacyFox enabled, trying to follow someone or to like a tweet results in the following error message:
Disabling the extension is enough to make the error disappear, but it is quite cumbersome to toggle the extension every time I want to interact with Twitter. Is there a known workaround?
Try setting: network.http.sendRefererHeader
to '1'
and network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer
to 'true'
Thanks @Atavic, indeed when sending referer Twitter interactions work again.
@TheCreeper WDYT of this issue? Any plans to let users whitelist websites where referer is sent, or should we turn to another add-on for referer protection?
Twitter requires referer for login, but not for searching while not-logged. uMatrix, referer control and smart referer are some addons you could look at.
