Using RP with Firefox built from mozilla-central (and so probably the nightlies, as well) results in problems allowing some redirects using the redirect notification's 'Allow' button.

Here's an example using http://ur1.ca/o

{{{

[RequestPolicy] [DEBUG] [INTERNAL] Main document has rejected requests.
[RequestPolicy] [INFO] [INTERNAL] User allowed redirection from to

Thanks to Aleksej for reporting this.
