User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170814073321
Steps to reproduce:
Regularly access an HTTP Basic Auth protected site, which made it show up in the Top sites.
Restart Firefox, and open a new tab.
Actual results:
When opening the new tab, the Activity Stream is displayed (good), including an entry for the password-protected site (good), with a thumbnail from the previous visit (good).
It then pops up a standard password Basic Auth password request modal dialog (bad).
Expected results:
When opening the new tab, the Activity Stream should be displayed (tick), including an entry for the password-protected site (tick), with a thumbnail from the previous visit (tick).
Upon receiving a 401, Activity Stream should give up on trying to refresh the thumbnail, and just display the old one (as it already does) rather than asking the user for the password.

Olivier, are you using the Activity Stream add-on (potentially from test pilot) or did you set "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled" pref as it's off by default in Firefox 55.

I just tested with https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/ as a pinned site, and a thumbnail/screenshot is created without logging in. This must have been a test pilot add-on version issue and not with the one from browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled.

Ah, yes, that was a TestPilot Addon. I now have disabled it, and enabled browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled (FF 55.0.3), but I now get a blank page rather than the activity stream, so I can't check. I must have broken something else in the process...

I don't think it's working on 55. You'll need to wait or update to 56.
