User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to a page that prompts for basic-auth credentials.
  2. Do not fill in the credentials, but leave the login dialog open
  3. Open another window and attempt to go to the same domain

Actual results:

In the second domain, no page loads and no error is presented.

Expected results:

Some indication should be given that there is a credential request dialog in another window.

Hey Siefkenj,
I tried reproducing this issue with https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/ but I'm not sure this is helpful for me since it's a test site. Can you please provide a site where I can better check this issue?

Flags: needinfo?(siefkenj)

I am able to reproduce the issue with https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/ First, go to https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/ and don't type in credentials. Then, open another window and go to https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/Basic/ . There is no credentials prompt and the "loading" icon just says a page is loading, though it never loads.

In case it is relevant, I am running Firefox 85 on Linux.

Still cannot repro it as the prompt appears in both windows and is functional.

Setting a component for this issue in order to get the dev team involved.
If you feel it's an incorrect one please feel free to change it to a more appropriate one.

I can't open the second browser on 78.8esr.
And I can reproduce the issue on 85, 86, but not on 87 windows10.
