Steps to reproduce:
- Open browser
- opening a website or writing an url on the address bar
- Proxy authentication pops up
- insert credentials
- proxy works well
- close browser
- reopen browser
- proxy authentication pops up again totally blank
Mozilla 64 32bit on windows 10
Options:
"Remember logins and passwords for websites" is checked
"Do not prompt for authentication if password is saved" doesn't matter if cheked or not
proxy is configured with
"Automatic proxy configuration URL"

Expected results:
Firefox should ask to save proxy credentials (it works on other websites)
and save them

Do you mean "it works on other browsers"? (related to the expected results section)

Digging a bit further.
The problem is twofold:
A) other browsers (internet explorer, edge, chrome) don't ask for the password as they use NTLM authentication. Firefox behaviour is as described in bug 650091: it works with ntlm auth if it is listed first in squid configuration, otherwise it use basic.
B) I expect to have the ability to save the password, but no prompt appears, i see no possibility to save credentials for the proxy.

I cannot confirm since I don't have a proxy with credentials authentification for test for now. I do remember seeing it before, tho. I will set this bug's component to match the bugs with proxy issues. From here, it can get a professional opinion from a developer. If further testing is needed, please NI me or the reporter, depending on the information needed.
Thanks!
