This is a tracking bug for all problems in Mozilla with URL schemes such as: userinfo@host This encompasses HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Gopher, and any other relevant protocol. This metabug will track all bugs that specifically relate to "username:password@host" problems. There are some security concerns, some usability concerns, and some other concerns relative to this kind of URL scheme. This bug is not the place for discussing those concerns. If you have something to say, say it elsewhere. If you want to help add or remove dependencies, you're welcome to.
