25861 - Repeated prompting to confirm realm username & password

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 24329

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect, P3)

Description

[howdens]

In previous versions of NS Navigator the username and password for each realm 
was cached across all Navigator windows and was automatically re-presented for 
each subsequent access to that realm, without user intervention, unless there 
was an authentication failure.

This meant that when accessing the Internet through a firewall we are only 
prompted for the firewall realm username & password once per session.

With M13 I am prompted to confirm the firewall realm username & password for 
every HTTO request to the Internet

This is a problem in http authentication (not in single-signon) so I'm 
reassigning to Jud.  I believe a similar bug report has already been filed and 
Jud would know which it is and can mark this as a dup.

I'm not able to reproduce this on an NT build from this morning. Is there a test 
case?

Bulk move to Single Signon component, which has subsumed Password Cache.
