Use of a socks5 server set to receive requests with name/password authentication
fails because there is no way to enter the info.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.socks5 reference setup to listen on port 10000, deny all non authenticated
requests
2. set browser to use server at port
3. get error message about access denied

Actual Results:  
Requests were denied, and no chance to enter auth data.

Expected Results:  
Showed a name/password dialog, then sent the info.

If set to no auth, it works, but this is a bad idea on the public net.

Changed the product to Browser.

Is an error displayed? See bug 122752.

In 1.2 there was a dialog that popped up, saying connection failed or was refused.
In 1.3 the request returns with no dialog and no new page rendered or any error
code.

Server log indicates that no acceptible authentication could be found.

This does relate to that other bug listed, but at this point, name/password does
not work at all.  It was not in the NSS branch.

-> NEW, clean-report, regression
I think what you are asking for is implementation of bug 122752.

What you are reporting, so I'm recycling your bug, rather than creating a new
one, is that there needs to be an error message for an auth failure.

also see bug 133939, which appears to be related
