When I surf the web with SM 2.x, I disable the send referrer since I
do not like web sites tracking me. However, some web sites require
it and do not work (e.g., EducatedEarth.net (ratings),
MyCokeReward.com's orders) or whatever. Is there a way to have SM2
prompt me to send referrers like it does with cookies?

I don't think popping up dialogs asking to allow cookies or referrer for
every site/page is the most user friendly option.

You appear aware of the "network.http.sendRefererHeader" pref:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.sendRefererHeader

I think it would be nice to have "Don't send the Referer header when
navigating to another site" option as the
"network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer" pref (linked from the above
article) provides:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer

I'm not aware of solutions to achieve exactly what you want, but there
appears a related Bugzilla entry:

Thanks and a good idea! :)
