User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

When I go to a site where I specify the username & password on the url Mozilla
does not use the username/password for authentication.  In fact, it prompts me
for the username/password for each item on the page.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Enter a url that has a username/password
    http://user:[e-mail]/



Actual Results:  
Required to enter auth info for each item on the page, including the page itself
and any images.
Enter same user & password as on the url.

Expected Results:  
The username & password on the url should be used for all authentication.

The specific example (names changed to protect the innocent):
