 Replying to [comment:16 rransom]:
 > And you think they would be better able to understand a barrage of
 ‘click OK to link your identity on one website to your identity on another
 website’ popups?

 No. As is quite clear in [ticket:3600#comment:16], I am still conflicted
 on this being a good idea. But you're commenting in the wrong bug now,
 because redirects are an orthogonal problem to choosing tab isolation vs
 url origin isolation. They happen in both. If you have an opinion/better
 idea for handling redirects, please comment in #3600, not here.
