Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • Use Firefox behind a proxy that requires authentication
  • Navigate to a site in normal mode -> Firefox asks for proxy user and password (once)
  • Open a private browsing window
  • Navigate to a site in private browsing mode

Actual results:

Firefox pops up the proxy user and password confirmation dialog for every single request(!), resulting in numerous confirmations to load a single page.

This renders private browsing behind an authenticating proxy useless.

Expected results:

Like in Firefox 66.x and before, Firefox should pop up the proxy user and password confirmation only once for each private browsing window.
