Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:77.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/77.0

Steps to reproduce:

I'm trying to get to a "share" page

Actual results:

I get lots (endless) requests for my Windows account credentials

Expected results:

On other browsers "C"/"I"/"E" I don't get the multiple prompts. For the most part aspects of Firefox are "managed by the organization" and I have no control. With some experimenting, it looks like the password isn't getting forwarded (I entered an incorrect one, and got the same result). If I enter the URL into the "E" browser, it forwards the link over to the "I" browser and that works. The "C" browser works as well (all without password requests, do they cache them?). These sites are "Powered by SharePoint 2013" which may explain some things.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Could you elaborate on what you mean?

This could be a UAC prompt, NTLM auth. or maybe related to client certificates but it's hard to tell without more context or a screenshot. Could you please provide both?
