Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
Bugzilla bug #420578 was reported fixed in 3.0b5 but still occurs in 3.0~b5+
An XHR to a page with standard http authentication (i.e. via .htaccess) should pop up an authentication dialog. If the XHR occurs in a chrome context (such as in an extension) the 401 error is ignored and no authentication dialog is shown.
