155811 - Changeable identity in HTTP auth

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55181

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Simon Perreault]

This goes on my wishlist:
I would like to be able to switch identities when doing HTTP authentication. For
example, I'm now coding a multi-user web agenda for use in intranets. I have to
go back and forth between two test users to see if they interact well. Users log
using basic HTTP authentication and therefore I need to either use another
browser or restart Mozilla every time I want to become "someone else".

I'm thinking about a menu item, maybe under Tools -> Web Development or Tools ->
Password Manager that would be labeled "Forget HTTP credentials" or something else.
