Description

[Bob Marietta]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

My workspace has an Outlook web interface for e-mail.  The url is
https://webapps.mar.med.navy.mil/exchange/logon.asp.  If you go to this site
using IE6 you enter your username on the web page and then are prompted for a
password.  

If you view the web page with FireFox before you even see the page premature
username/password box pops up:

'Enter username and password for "" at https://webapps.mar.med.navy.mil'

I have to hit cancel, type my username into the webpage and then get prompted
with a simliar dialog except this time it logs me on.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to https://webapps.mar.med.navy.mil/exchange/logon.asp
2.  See the inappropriate/premature FireFox username/password prompt


Actual Results:  
Here is the dialog from the prompt:
'Enter username and password for "" at https://webapps.mar.med.navy.mil'

Expected Results:  
FireFox should not have prompted me for anything until I typed my name into the
web page form to login.
