I'm being asked for a password with the following statement: The proxy moz-proxy://192.168.30.5:800 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://192.168.30.5:800"

Here's an example of what happens when I cancel the username and password request: ERROR: Cache Access Denied Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request:

http://cben.net/?

from this cache because your username and password are incorrect or your user group does not have permission to web browse. Please check your username and password. They are case sensitive so make sure Caps Lock is not on. This happens 100% of the time.

You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

See "Firefox connection settings":

well... I do require a proxy to get on the internet. What's the solution for me (and others like me)?

I have the same problem. It ask for all elements that proxt detects ("NetworkError: 407 Proxy Authentication Required").

Solution "No proxy" not works because i aslo require internet.

I have version 10.0.2 on windwos XP, and this happens to me since I update it. On chrome and ie works without prompt.

I upload and example, this page calls facebooks elements (i can't acces facebook) and others, for each element prompt proxy is shown.
