As of Firefox 45 we intend to turn referrerpolicy attribute on by default
on all platforms. It has been developed behind the
network.http.enablePerElementReferrer preference. Other UAs shipping this
or intending to ship it are Chrome and Opera [1].

The referrerpolicy attribute as specified in the referrer policy spec
allows per element referrer policies for <a>, <area>, <img>, and <iframe>
tags. Referrer policies allow to specify
which referer [sic] header is sent when performing the request. The
referrerpolicy attribute allows
developers to override the document's referrer policy (set in meta tag or
via CSP) on a per element basis.

This feature was previously discussed in this "intent to implement" thread:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.platform/g-YY5rWFCLM/discussion.
