Is FF stripping the referrer header?
A site I use processes funds using Stripe. Yesterday when trying to add funds to my account I got the following message: "You passed an empty string for 'referrer'. We assume empty values are an attempt to unset a parameter; however 'referrer' cannot be unset. You should remove 'referrer' from your request or supply a non-empty value."

Thanks cor-el! One of my extensions is Privacy Badger. Turning it off while on the misbehaving page had no effect but turning it off one page prior solved my problem. Apparently the Stripe implementation looks for the referrer header and if Privacy Badger is running when you arrive on that page there is no referrer header. Turning off Privacy Badger before going to the page to add funds solved my problem.

FF Quantum 60.0.1
Did you contact the site support on the problem? What financial system are we talking about here?
Hi, no info was sent along with your question as possibly turned off so have no idea of Extensions, video Card Drivers and possible corruption nor anything. Nothing supplied other than the issue.
There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate. This could cause a issue with what you are speaking of.
Do you know the sites that had the missing information so can test against it ? ?
If so please try this on while looking at the sites/ or what ever you were trying to do : SAFE MODE
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
- all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
- default theme is used (no persona)
- userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
- default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
- Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
- hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
- plugins are not affected
- preferences are not affected
TEST''''is issue still there ?
This can happen if "Resist Fingerprinting" is enabled.
