Wow, good debugging.

I'm unable to reproduce this gmail bug in Tech Preview (2.29.91). I wonder why it works for me....

Agreed on both counts.

We actually have an old bug for this problem with redirections: bug #191858.

I investigated and found the Firefox quirk is not really for YouTube at all, but for Google Docs and Google Drive: https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/257128/webkit. I guess they're loading a browser detection script from youtube.com. That quirk is already broken btw: Google Docs has started displaying unsupported browser warnings yet again even with updated Firefox version quirk in 2.29.91, and I haven't attempted to debug that yet. So we should definitely drop that quirk to get GMail working again, since loading GMail is obviously more important than avoiding unsupported browser warnings. Bonus points if we can find some other quirk that avoids the warnings without breaking gmail, but that might be hard. I hate the user agent header, it's always so hard to find something that fixes a problem without breaking other things. :/
