Hi

When visiting PIXhost, I always receive error "Hotlinking Forbidden"

I use a Firefox addon named RefControl, which sends always the root of
the site as referer (for privacy reasons).

Why does this not work for PIXhost?

PixHost probes your system to determine if you are running RefControl. If you are, you get that error message. Disable RefControl then reload the page. PixHost doesn't like RefControl.
