Details

Currently, we don't consider the possibility that the default referrer policy could be altered by users in the disallow relaxing referrer policy. This could cause unexpected behavior for the protection if the default referrer policy was changed. For example, if the user changes the default referrer policy to No Referrer, then Firefox won't recover the original referrer policy if the protection is disabled by the ETP toggle.

Also, we should consider the case where the user changes the default referrer policy to a less restricted one. What we should do in this case? We probably need to also adjust our protection a bit to accommodate this.
