Public bug reported:

Go to URL: http://test:test@example.com

The dialog box says:

'You are about to log in to the site "example.com" with the username "test", but the website
does not require authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you.

Is "test" the site you want to visit?'

By clicking "Yes", I am taken to example.com, not "test".

I don't believe this requires any changes to the functions of the box,
simply the text. The box should ask if "example.com" is the site you
want to visit. The Windows version behaves this way.
