318286 - Proxy auth requested on every page call

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 318253

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Marsti]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.5

If a proxy is set manually and the proxy required authentication then the authentication infos are requested on every hit on a page (every time you call a link/URL, the login box is shown).

Used proxy: ISA

This problem occurs since Firefox 1.5 (RCs too)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a proxy manually (maybe it must be an ISA proxy) which requires auth
2. Enter an URL in the adressbar or click on a link on a page
3. Type in your proxy login infos
4. Enter an URL in the adressbar or click on a link on a page
Actual Results:  
You have to reenter the proxy auth infos

Expected Results:  
Like in FF 1.0.x the proxy authentication infos should be kept until the browser is closed.

This occurs in our school which uses an ISA proxy which requires login infos. Didn't tested with other proxies.
