When Firefox 3 is first started it imports addons from default profile. It checks for compatibility for the addons and themes. Now if a proxy is configured and proxy required authentication then firefox will ask for username and password for each addon/theme. Although this will happen only once but its very annoying to enter the same username & password 10 times (or more, depending on addons/themes installed).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure Firefox 2 has some addons/themes
2. Ensure that Firefox 2 has a proxy configured that required authentication
2. Install Firefox 3 beta 1
3. Start Firefox 3 beta 1
Actual Results:
foreach in (addons + themes)
I was asked for username and password for proxy authentication
done
Expected Results:
It did check for compatibility
Software should have asked for username & password only once and either cached it for the session where addons/themes compatibility is checked or an option to remember the password should have been given to remember the username/password for proxy.
