Trac GitHub login error: MissingTokenError

I am using Firefox 35 on Fedora 20.
Every time I log in by clicking "GitHub Login" near the top of all code.djangoproject.com pages Trac reports an internal error and I am presented with the error page attached. If I navigate away from this error page I am actually logged in, so this error doesn't stop me from using the site as a logged in user. You can see in the screenshot it says "logged in as jdufresne".
I do use various Firefox add-ons, so perhaps that may be an issue? Beyond typical web developer add-ons, my add-ons can manipulate cookies and HTTP referer. I do have cookies enabled for .djangoproject.com and .github.com so I don't think that is it.
I have reproduced this on multiple boxes that share the same Firefox profile and OS.
Is it still an issue? Absent some way to reproduce it ourselves, not sure there's much value in leaving the ticket open.
I think this is related to some Firefox add-on I am using. This does not happen when using a fresh Firefox profile. My best guess is that it is related to the Cookie Monster add-on. Currently I workaround this issue by using "DjangoProject Login" which works for me.
Sorry for the back-to-back posts.
Actually, this look like it might be related to the smart referer add-on. Does GitHub login require a Referer header to work properly?
I can whitelist this site so it will work in the future.
If working without a Referer is important, feel free to re-open, but I can workaround this easy enough.
