Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140611060104
Steps to reproduce:
Visit an internal web site which offers Basic, Negotiate and NTLM authentication.
Actual results:
I was prompted for a password.
If I enter a password, it tries Basic auth.
If I hit cancel, it tries Negotiate (and succeeds).
Expected results:
It should have used Negotiate auth straight away, like Firefox 30 does.
NTLM is also configured to work automatically here through Samba's ntlm_auth helper, and that should have been used in preference to Basic auth too.

Correction: Firefox 30 behaves just as firefox 31 does. Although it was reported to me as a new behaviour with Firefox 31, and I then reproduced it with Firefox 31 and subsequently *not* with Firefox 30... that turns out to have been because the server randomises the order of its WWW-Authenticate: headers and it just happened that way by coincidence.
If I repeatedly reload, Firefox 30 has just the same problem if the server happens to send Basic first.
