Note, this is also happening on Fennec. This is probably not a Firefox OS issue.

Comment 2

[Guillaume Marty [:gmarty]]

This is due to the following chain of redirections:
youtube.com -> www.youtube.com (301 Moved Permanently)
www.youtube.com -> m.youtube.com (302 Found)

Is it really a blocker? Seems like a regular behaviour to me.

Comment 3

[Dale Harvey (:daleharvey)]

Yup, Mike asked me to take a look at this but seems pretty certainly not a blocker, it exists / has existed on fennec and I remember it being brought up as an issue a few years ago. 

Brad, do you know who will know about this / has looked into it for android? I vaguely remember there was some possible work to disregard (empty) redirections from the history stack. 

Michael, this is fairly definitely not a blocker

WFM.

Comment 5

[Brad Lassey [:blassey] (use needinfo?)]

Margaret, how do we handle redirects in the history of the Fennec front end?

I don't see any logic for special-casing redirecting in the front-end, but I do see logic in nsAndroidHistory.cpp. Some relevant bugs:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=949104
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1102210

rnewman or mfinkle would know more.
