Yep, I can reproduce this (using a Private Browsing window and a throwaway email address). 

glob, I think you've been maintaining this code recently: any ideas? Is there a parameter we are failing to pass somewhere?

[:glob ✱]

because we can't use persona's observer api (due to conflicts with our own session management), we have to use the callback api, which doesn't support this feature:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona/The_navigator.id_API#Seamless_first-time_sign-in

> After creating an account, if the original website uses the Callback API, the user will
> not be automatically redirected to the website and signed in: they will have to navigate
> back to it.

unfortunately until the persona api without session management is deployed we can't do anything here.
