------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
I've been using RequestPolicy for so long I'd not realized that redirects
have been getting more and more transparent. In Firefox 4/5, the loading
indications are impossible to differentiate between redirects and
There does not appear to be any obvious about:config options to cause this
prompting either. We may have to dig into the RequestPolicy source to see
how they do this.
Redirect notification is important if we're going to try to keep 3rd party
cookies disabled (or dual-keyed). If redirects are 100% transparent,
there's little point in disabling 3rd party cookies.
