The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Password Manager' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

:sin, can you provide a link to the example web page with Basic or Digest Authentication?

Is it necessary to have uBlock Origin to be active? Is it blocking selected web pages?

Comment 3

[sin]

Example access authentication web pages are

Basic auth page: https://hccbe.com/test/basic-auth/
Username:user, Password:password

Digest auth page: https://hccbe.com/test/digest-auth/
Username:user, Password:password

You need to save these login information(username and password) in the browser.

uBlock Origin extension need to be enabled. But, you can disable it for this site.

I can not reproduce the issue on Firefox Nightly 101. I'm getting Primary Password prompts, basic/digest auth prompts, page loads with some "success" message on it.

:sin, can you try similar steps with Chrome/Edge browsers. Or attach some screenshots (perhaps I misunderstand expected outcome).
