275817 - user/password prompt for ad images on various sites

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nik the Greek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041222 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041222 Firefox/1.0+

Almost any site I enter results in (sometimes more than 1) prompt for username
password. I don't use a proxy or anything and am using a fresh installation with
no plugins or extensions (i physically deleted the profile and application
directories).
The prompt seems to refer to URLs that have to do with the ad banners on those
pages.
This bug is driving me nuts. I can't really browse to those pages at the moment
for fear of being prompted 5 times for a user/pass at each page.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto www.zeropaid.com (I can provide other URLs as well.)
2. 
3.

Is it possible that it works for you because you have adblock installed, or
something similar?
Because I still get this consistently for almost all sites that have ad banners.

This definitely still happens.
Especially now, during the Beta, I don't have adblock to block those ad image urls it's getting really frustrating.
