The text before this also needs to be changed.  Suggestion (sorry, no
patch):

--------- old: --------
.h2 NO_FILE_REFERER
# If NO_FILE_REFERER is TRUE, Referer headers never will be sent in
# transmissions to servers for links or actions derived from documents
# or forms with file URLs.  This would ensure that paths associated
# with the local file system are never indicated to servers, even if
# NO_REFERER_HEADER is FALSE.  If left FALSE here, it can be set TRUE
# at run time via the -nofilereferer switch.
#
#NO_FILE_REFERER:FALSE

--------- new: --------
.h2 NO_FILE_REFERER
# If NO_FILE_REFERER is TRUE, Referer headers never will be sent in
# transmissions to servers for links or actions derived from documents
# or forms with file URLs.  This ensures that paths associated with
# the local file system are never indicated to servers, even if
# NO_REFERER_HEADER is FALSE.  If set to FALSE here, it can still be
# set TRUE at run time via the -nofilereferer switch.
#
#NO_FILE_REFERER:TRUE
