Hi fuzzyfuzzykitty+github,

Could you please post the link of the webpage used to redirect?

Thanks.

Unfortunately I can't; this comes up as part of an internal tool at my place of employment.

I don't know if it helps, but there are 2 redirects, each to unique subdomains. The first redirect looks like the tab might be closing and opening a new tab though, because it briefly shrinks and grows before the subsequent redirects.

(Maybe the real bug is "Close tabs to the right" on a closed tab closes all tabs?)

Could you maybe post a screen recording of the issue?
It would be really helpful, since it is really hard to handle this case given we also don't have a testcase to help us reproduce and the scenario is quite uncommon.
To avoid any information leak, could you just make the screen recording on the tabs bar only?
Thanks in advance!
