Firefox about:config settings and noscript ;o)

Post by chimpscript »

Hi folks,

Like many here, i like to play with my about:config settings in firefox. specifically -:

dom.storage.enabled

"to store information with a web browser (similar to cookies) called “client-side session and persistent storage.” Although use of session storage is subject to a user’s cookie preferences, this preference allows it to be disabled entirely."

and

network.http.sendRefererHeader

"As part of HTTP, requests can include a "Referer" (sic) header that tells the server which page the user was on that initiated the request. Servers use this information to track users' paths through the site and possibly provide additional features. "

I like to disable these for a more secure browse. Question is, do i need to if im running noscript?

Many thanks.
