The new Youtube user pages redirect you to a login form if you do not accept cookies. The whole page loads and is usable before it redirects.

This happens despite having checked "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" ( accessibility.blockautorefresh )

Steps to Reproduce:
1.tell Firefox to warn user on redirects
2.turn off cookies
3.go to http://www.youtube.com/user/LiberalViewer
Actual Results:  
4.page unexpectedly redirects

Expected Results:  
4.browser warns user that the page wishes to redirect

I do not seem to get any redirection. Can you check the URL is still valid and behaving as you describe?
