Description

[Lorenzo]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180317144700

Steps to reproduce:

- Added manual proxy which requires authentication in the network settings
   - This is an internal company proxy
- The "Do not prompt for authentication if password is saved" checkbox is selected
- Proxy settings are saved
- Close Firefox
- Open Firefox
- Enter username and password for proxy
- Save username and password
- Close Firefox
- Open Firefox


Actual results:

- An authentication dialog (separate 'window') for the proxy is presented
   - The authentication is pre-filled with the saved user name and password
- Only after confirming the credentials it is possible to navigate correctly


Expected results:

- No dialog should have appeared after saving the proxy username and password
- Proxy should work

Daniel, do you have time to investigate?

Same in FF61, and in my case username and password is empty after every relaunch.

I can reproduce.
After I enter the username and password, they are not saved actually.

User/pass being not saved is something else. It is being saved fine in our case.

Here hte issue is "Firefox is asking us to press OK to continue" after each start.

Can someone get to this? This is going on 15 years. If you don't hit OK, nothing loads when you start the browser.

IE fixed this issue a decade ago.

Why is 1520453 duplicate of this?

Those issues are seperate. On that bug, credentials are NOT saved.

Here credentials are saved fine.
