When making a XMLHttpRequest with HTTP authentication and using wrong credentials, firefox will prompt the user for credentials, which it should not do according to the current working draft of W3C regarding XMLHttpRequest.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See http://codereaper.com/bugspray/javascript/xmlhttprequest/httpauthentication


Expected Results:  
It should have captured the event and noticed that credentials wore sent along with the request and not prompted the user, but instead have used the error message sent from the server along with the 401 header.
