The page contains this code: 


<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://Session:960838603@ipcheck.info/auth.css.php">

You want to block Firefox from sending the basic authentication string Session:960838603 in that first tag?

I don't think that is a built-in feature of Firefox. Maybe there's an add-on?

(I read about a preference named http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.phishy-userpass-length network.http.phishy-userpass-length] but it doesn't seem to do anything useful.)
