Hi Team,

May you kindly help for the below scenario:-

I have a requirement where when a User requests a URL, a custom Pop Up asking for User Name and Password has to be shown. Currently, the default Pop Up asking for User Name and Password which is provided by the Firefox pops up and then our custom Pop Up comes on top of it.

So, how can we disable or surpass the default browser pop up using Java script or any webRequest API methods. Tried a few options:-

1. Request status to 200 for every request This is impractical and not possible scenario

2. Change the Authentication Header on the Server Before posting the data to the server, Pop Up comes and hence this also won't help.


Regards,
