This happens only when a callback is passed to google.load. The
behavior is the following.
1. Page calls google.accounts.user.login(myScope);
2. Browser is redirected to the Google authorization page.
3. User clicks to authorize.
4. Browser is redirected back to original page, with the token
appended to the URL.
5. In IE nothing happens. In FF the page will store the token in a
cookie and refresh to remove the token from the URL.
