Remember users decision to accept a 'defensive auth' prompt.

We should at least remember this per session, which can be implemented by
extending the nsHttpAuthCache.

On second thought, I wonder if it might make more sense to simply keep a table
of URLs that do not require defensive auth prompting (again).  The alternative
is to use the auth cache.  The implications of doing so is that the setting to
disable defensive auth prompting would apply to not just a single URL but all
URLs that have a deeper file path.  That may or may not be a good thing. 
Moreover, we might want to remember the setting per host instead of per URL. 
Per host may make sense since the defensive auth prompts only mention the
hostnames involved.

dveditz: do you have any thoughts on how this should be implemented?

Please make this host list editable to the user.

It seems it is possible to differentiate between a normal link and a home page.
Can a pref be added to disable the warning for the home page?
Would be pretty useful for me (Firefox user, though).

Is this a dupe of bug 243572

It looks doubtful that I will have time to get to this for Gecko 1.8.  Help wanted.
