It would be cool if there was an option to automatically login with a username and password when prompted by a HTTP Auth login. These autologins should of course be removable, so there should be some sort of list of them in the options menu. I have used such a feature with IE (phew!) before, and it worked pretty well when I had my homepage set to my school's intranet site. Getting a password prompt every time you start up the browser, or even just tries to login to a site, gets tiresome, especially when the password is already remembered, and you just need to press the "ok" button. It seems unnecessary considering I only ever log in with one username and password. This is of course a bit of a biggie, and requires some UI changes, but I was hoping it could get on the todo list, maybe for 2.0.
Reproducible: Always
Idea:
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| ? Enter username and password for ... |
| |
| User Name: |
| |_____________________________| |
| |
| Password: |
| |_____________________________| |
| |
| [] Use Password Manager to remember this password. |
| [] Automatically login with this username and password |
| in the future. |
| | Cancel | | OK | |

Not really. I'm only talking about HTTP Authentication, not automatic form submission.
