In bug1415444, we implemented the flag which stores whether user has activated the document by specific user gestures. When navigating to new document, the flag should be carried if the new document has same eTLD+1. One example is, 1. User login on siteA (user activates siteA) 2. site automatically jump to another siteB after login success (siteB is not activated yet) For siteB, we should still regard it as activated, to keep the broswering experience consistent.

We decided to not do this.
