Will Firefox trim their own header additions when searching?
e.g. here's the page that Firefox generates when I try to search "Dragon Quest XI" in a Private Window on Amazon via the address bar:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=dragon+quest+xi&link_code=qs&sourceid=Mozilla-search&tag=mozilla-20 https://www.amazon.com/s?k=dragon+quest+xi&link_code=qs&sour...
Note the 'mozilla-20' tag at the end.
- inigoesdr 6y agoThat's not the same as the referrer header; it's mostly invisible to the end user without inspecting the raw request data.
- SquareWheel 6y agoThat's an affiliate link. It seems then Mozilla is injecting affiliate codes on Amazon searches.
- kaba0 6y agoWhat does the browser has to do with how amazon implements their search? Amazon probably parses the User Agent and puts mozilla there for some reason.
- SquareWheel 6y agoThat seems rather unlikely. If it's not the browser itself, then it's more likely to be an extension inserting it.
