"Forbidden (403)

I just changed about config the other day - from 2 - 0, I think. Since I don't remember what I did, I will wait for your answer.

The error couldn't be clearer to someone who speaks the same language - am I right (or am I right)?

Thank you.

Cor-el,

What text do I enter to get the exact function back? I guess I have to return it to 2 (for links/images), but I do not remember what I entered. I'm not sure about the true/false setting, either.

I can follow instructions without understanding the technical reason for them and what they accomplish - which is what I do 90% of the time.

Thank you.

You can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value if they appear user set (bold).

  • network.http.sendRefererHeader = 2 (Integer)
  • network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer = true (Boolean)

You were so concise, I missed it the first time.

When I entered: network.http.sendRefererHeader, nothing showed up in the search. When I entered network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer, it was already set to "true."

I'm missing something. Thank you.
