There are three redirection methods:

1. Meta refresh. This is the one and only kind of redirection handled by the aforementioned preference. It still works just fine, unless you're using one of the test versions of Firefox with e10s enabled [1]. I've attached a testcase so you can try it out.

2. HTTP status redirect. This is the case for shortened URLs, which is what's been reported as not working here. Example: http://mzl.la/1BAQNzf You can install an add-on to get a warning for such redirects [2]. I can find no bug that specifically covers this situation, so I'm changing the summary of this one.

3. JavaScript redirects [3].
