How can i prevent Authentication Required prompts for saved logins?

Firefox Privacy and security

I'm using a linux PC in a corporate environment. This PC is used as unattended monitoring display. When i try to access an intranet website from it, Firefox always prompts Authentication Required with prefilled saved login in it. How can i make Firefox login automatically without prompting?

I'm running Firefox 65.0.1 32-bit under Ubuntu.

This is not a feature that Firefox supports natively.

You'd have to try something like AutoAuth or some alternative. Although I can't vouch for the security or privacy of these programs.
