83139 - homepage require authentication will cause problem when in -turbo mode

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 81712

(Core Graveyard :: Cmd-line Features, defect)

pasting [e-mail] comment from bug 75599 here:

I'm using Apache/MySQL/PHP for my Mozilla Home page. The problem with the new 
-turbo cmd line option is that my page requires WWW authentication (realized 
with PHP to verify database connections). With the new option in use Mozilla 
asks me for my PSM master password, the user to take for auth. and finally for a 
confirmation at the user/password dialogue. I think the Home page should not be 
loaded in such a case, maybe it's better not to load the Home page until you 
actually call a Mozilla/Navigator window, e.g. by double-clicking a desktop 
icon. IMO the preload feature should never ask or tell anything: Even if the 
Home page is unreachable there should be no warning until you actually decide to 
USE Mozilla.
Apart from that I experienced that Mozilla loaded twice: At first Mozilla 
started in background (-turbo set) and asked me for authentication, then it 
loaded another time when I opened it using the desktop icon... Unreproducable, 
unfortunately. Another thing: When I open up Mozilla the first time after the 
preload it shows my Home page. If I close it then, it shows about:blank. :-/

This is essentially the same bug as bug 81712.  When that is fixed to suppress
loading the home page, this particular aspect (the home page requiring auth)
will be fixed, also.
