doubleclick-auth.png
After my lunch break, I came back to my desk with an HTTP auth dialog coming from Firefox. It was coming from an iframe (a DoubleClick ad) but it seems slightly malicious ("The site says "Google"' might be a phishing attempt).
Should HTTP Auth be denied from iframes? It sounds that most users wouldn't really understand what's happening and it seems very easy to get username/password from them this way.
(In general, the UX is fairly poor: being able to find which tab initiated the request would be good.)

Agreed. We tried--and failed--to kill these in bug 647010. bug 1281434 covers investigating approaches to the problem (heuristics? limits?) that might stick.
