[Bug 310930] [NEW] Firefox asks several time for proxy authentication when started up and restoring session

[Phoenix]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Following scenario

- You need to authenticate against the proxy server to access the internet
- You have several tabs open with sites open in it

You now close the browser (shutting down the PC, whatever...), next time
you start up firefox session restore recreates all the tabs with the
pages in it - this is desired.

Unfortunately every tab asks for proxy authentication - meaning, you
have 20 tabs, you authenticate 20 times - or don't use session restore
feature....

Furthermore, to emulate SSO (Single Sign On) the Extension "AutoAuth" is
installed, which does not kick in at that time.

Desired fixes:
- only ask once for proxy authentication
- make AutoAuth work for the initial authentication or make it possible to submit the credentials automatically (store it somehow in the browser....)
