Hard refresh (Ctrl F5) means repeat "authentication required" dialogue

I am on a corporate network.

As I do a lot of web development I hit "Ctrl F5" more than most so I came across this bug:

I have to hit the OK button on a pop up !"Authentication required" dialogue for every element on a web page (which obviously isn't very practical for pages with 100s of images etc).

The message at the top of the dialogue reads:

"The proxy moz-proxy://proxy1.netkit.mycorporation.gov:6000 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://proxy1.netkit.mycorporation.gov:6000"

A regular "F5" does not cause the dialogue to appear. Regular browsing is not affected.

Older versions of Firefox (Portable) on my machine are not affected.
