Can't exit the menu to view followers #602

Sorry for 2 issues in a row but this one's an actual bug, I'm pretty sure. Since viewing someone's followers automatically redirects to "verified followers" now, this extension seems to redirect you from that page to the regular followers tab, which is good. However, when you try to back out of the menu, it doesn't work. I think Twitter's "back" buttons act the same as the back button in your browser, so rather than sending you to a specific link they just take you back to the last URL you visited. However, since the menu opens in the "verified followers" tab, it always sends you there instead of the person's main profile. Then, this extension redirects you back to the regular followers tab. Rinse and repeat, you're stuck in the menu. Not sure if this is fixable but if it's not I'd honestly prefer for the redirect to be gone. Rather deal with a pointless tab than get stuck in that menu. Sorry for the long explanation, hope I worded everything understandably.
