Details

(Whiteboard: [necko-triaged])

An image load can currently redirect to a page that requests HTTP basic auth and cause a login box to show up as if it came from the top-level page. As a first step towards deprecating/removing these prompts entirely, we could block these prompts if they come from a subresource that has been annotated as a tracker.
@mayhemer do you think P3 is the correct priority for this bug?

Probably yes. We have more than this bug around subresources and authentication, we may need some meta bug here.
