Description

[William Springer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Occasionally Mozilla will forget the username and password for my newsgroups,
and then I have to enter it again.  This problem has persisted for at least 3
versions of Mozilla; it seems to pop up at random.

(Sometimes closing the window and opening it again will get it to work, but the
easiest thing is to just type in the username/password again)

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open newsgroups
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla prompts for username/password

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have automatically sent username/password
