266349 - live bookmark feed fails to load if no prior authentication

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 266348

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Michael.Rush]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

We use basic transparent auth through our firewall. If I start Firefox, then
check any live bookmark feed, it displays "Live Bookmark feed failed to load"
for all feeds. This will continue to occur even after I subsequently visit a
site to prompt authentication through our fire wall.

If I restart Firefox and visit an external site, I am prompted for
authentication (my credentials are saved), then check my live bookmarks all load ok.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Firefox
2.Click Bookmarks
3.Select a Live Bookmarks feed.

Actual Results:  
Live Bookmarks entry displays "Live Bookmark feed failed to load".

Expected Results:  
Prompt for my auth credentials to pass through the firewall.
