It depends. A quick test shows that Internet Explorer does not send a referer when you right-click, save-target-as. So the Phoenix behavior mimics that of IE, but as we all know, that's not necessarily the right behavior.
Check out bug 120721, which is a duplicate of 48902. That bug was fixed but apparently they overlooked the "Save Link As" feature.

The summary at the top says it, but not until the end (which is outside of the normal view), so that part might have been missed. Open a new bug for HTTP Networking, Save As Referrer not sent.

Well
I checked up on this, and it wasn't handled with the other Referrer bugs.
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186030
Filed a new bug on it. It's really only a problem on badly configured servers, (incorrect MIME types, but referrer checking) but it could be a pain. Seems like sending the referrer is the right thing to do.
