That's good to know. I wouldn't want to necessarily recommend any change to that. The main motivation in this is trying to handle redirects with a 0 timeout better and to obviate the need for authors to even provide timeouts (while still meeting the needs of users including disabled users). Take care, Rob [prior thread]: Robert J Burns wrote: > Here is another issue that needs to be introduced here for > discussion, as it will be added to the issue-tracker in time.

Note that that's precisely what one wants to do with some redirects (e.g. HTTP 307 responses). Also not that UA behavior may differ (with good reason!) depending on the timeout before the redirect and on where the redirect is to in relation to the original page. Mozilla's certainly does.
