Steps to reproduce:

I recently fixed Chrome's document.referrer initialization in about:blank documents to match the spec: i.e.., to use the creator Document's full URL. This happened in https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3763042, and I also adjusted a WPT. Safari and Firefox do not match the spec—they seem to perform some amount of referrer sanitization on the document.referrer in the new Document.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Core & HTML' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → DOM: Core & HTML
Product: Firefox → Core

Per the chat with Henri, it makes more sense that we revisit this after bug 543435
