The link worked fine for me in Firefox without being signed in. Went straight to the first Tweet, showed another, and gave a link to continue reading the thread.

This is a known "feature" of Twitter. If it assumes the user can be logged in, it will hold the page captive until you sign in. I've had it happen to me, though I'm not sure of the details. Like whether it's being A/B tested or what specifically it's hitting on to require login

Did you try to click the link to continue reading the thread?

That’s what fails for me.
