(Whiteboard: [DUPEME to bug 650091?])

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: I have IIS web sites with only "Windows Authentication" enabled (same site on different machines, with IIS running on Server 2012, Server 2016 and Windows 10 Professional), and all browsers (IE, Edge, Firefox, Chrome) running on my Windows box can login without prompt. As a new requirement, for certain devices that do not support NTLM auth, "Standard Authentication" (Basic Auth) has to be enabled on these IIS sites. After enabling Standard Auth, when using IE, Edge, Chrome to connect to the server, still no Basic Auth popup comes up. Actual results: The result for FF 61.0b12 (64-bit) and FF 60.0.2 (64-bit) is different: Firefox is the only browser to bring up Basic Auth popups (yes, plural!) although NTLM auth is available, but as it seems only for some requests, while NTLM headers are sent for others. Expected results: Firefox should use NTLM whenever the server provides a choice between Basic and NTLM.

yes, looks like bug 650091. thanks.
Yes, can confirm the duplicate. I did not find the other one (or any of its already-closed duplicates that popped up over the years) using duplicate detection. When can we expect a fix? I did not find a workaround in the other bug.
