you should get prompted for the SOCKS user/pass when you try to connect.  What
actually does happen?

Reporter, it's a dupe of bug 122752 if you're using SOCKS 5. If you're using
SOCKS 4, please reopen this bug. Thx.

REOPEN:
This is is a depends on the trunk, this also needs to be tested separately.

Not a dupe of bug mentioned.

SOCKS 4/5 can require a username to use... "MOZ" is automatically sent as this
username when it needs to be configurable.
