User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) Build Identifier: 2.0.0.3 I have to use a proxy for internet. I need password for the proxy. The password are asked very lot of times during browsing (for all not cached objects). The fields are pre filled with the correct values, I just have to hit enter. During browsing I have to hit enter 10 or more times per page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set proxy 2. go to a page 3. enter username, password 4. borwse an other page The proxy password should be set in the preferences, not using the password manager. The password manager is used to pre-fill the password fields, but in this case it make FF unusable (I write this bug using IE tab...)

This is not the same problem. Bug 230190 reports a bug that occurs when a page contains items that must be loaded using proxy and items that will not be loaded using proxy. This is not blocking, there are very fre page like this. My problem ocurs on every page, so this bug blocks using firefox at all for me. Additional information for reproducing the bug: The proxy server is in a domain, but my computer is not in domain at all. Some of other machines in the same network are in the ame domain as the proxy, so the proxy does not ask for authentication.

Maybe related to this bug see also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339804#c23

This problem is a show stopper for me to reproduce set proxy to authenticated proxy surf to a website and enter the user/password combo Then surf to ibm.com spend next 5 minutes trying to close all proxy password requests To confirm the status of thus bug in its various forms google "firefox proxy password" and spend a little time trawling the sites that come up This problem is similar to but not identical to bug 230190. I suspect that the underlying cause is the same. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230190 In my case the password is being remembered correctly. But I have to keep clicking the OK button on the proxy password.

Sorry for the additional comment I am using firefox 3.10 on windows 2000

I'm using Windows XP Pro.

I will try to get more specific details, unfortunately I am on a corporate machine and installing software such as wireshark to try and trace the issue is against the rules. ( so is running firefox, But I do anyway) There are 4 people in the office all experience the same issue, they were the ones who told me of the IBM connection.

I believe the issue is related to the port and possibly the authentication type in use. Unfortunately I am unable to test it due to restrictions at work. eg. I don't have access to the proxy or other ports to test it on. The authentication scheme in use is NTLM The proxy is on port 443 but not using SSL. ie it uses plain http The reason is only port 80 and port 443 are available. all other ports are blocked. The ibm page contains calls to several objects that use https. perhaps that is the reason going to IBM.com causes such a problem whereas going to other websites work flawlessly. Sorry I cannot give any more detail at this point.

The problem has been resolved. it appears the problem may have been the fault of the proxy server. We were using FreeProxy but when we switched to squid the problem was resolved. My apologies for not discovering this sooner. Others who have issues with firefox and the proxy server may do well to check the proxy server itself. DC

RESOLVED as per comment #9.
