User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.115 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Bug 1113431 is adding referrer policy to Firefox UI. It's stored in Document.referrerPolicy and needs to propagate throughout browser.xml, etc., to webNavigation.loadURI[WithOptions]. A similar change should be made to seamonkey/thunderbird/comm-central in places that propagate the HTTP Referer header. Sending overly detailed referrers is a privacy issue. Spec: http://w3c.github.io/webappsec/specs/referrer-policy/

Moving to Thunderbird team.

Doesn't appear Thunderbird needs to do anything here, as we open links in the default system browser.
