[Bug 235310] [NEW] hotspot authentication spyder

[deopsc4]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

 I am using ubuntu 8.04 hardy and firefox (64 amd build). I do not get
the log in screen for authentication when I open Mozilla, this appears
to be the same with all hotspots that require some sort of web based
click through agreement. Note there is no password or security required
for these.

My fix has been to start a virtualBox with windows Xp and internet
explorer. The agreement appears in the browser and I click ok and I am
good to go.  Why would ----cough cough---I.E work under Ubuntu but
firefox will not work. And no there are no popups or cookies. If I have
time I will run a packet capture and try to fix.. I have seen this
problem unresolved in the Ubuntu forums.......I really like Firefox too

Thanks for all your attention if you have read this far :)
