Unable to login to local intranet site now with Firefox 40 on OS 10.10.4, what changed?
We have a local intranet site and I get into that fine, but go to click on a link that goes to another internal site for our phone list and it doesn't ask for my credentials to get into the page, it just comes up with a 401 error like I entered the wrong credentials. Things were fine with 39.0.3 and I have since then moved back to it. Using Firefox 40 on Windows 7 it asks for credentials. Wondering if this is some sort of bug in the OS X version?
I do not have saved passwords and not logged into other windows or tabs already.
Something changed in Firefox 40, but not sure what. I looked at the change log, but didn't see anything that stuck out that may have caused this.

if you control the environment, then you could try to get it working by setting network.auth.allow-subresource-auth to 2 like it's proposed in the article. i know too little about the subject to know why it would work in a windows environment but not on os x - that's a bit baffling...

hi cashxx, please refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/40/Site_Compatibility#Security
Shoot I over looked that! Though I wonder why Windows it still asks for credentials?
Sounds like it was a bug before that got fixed if you are referring to HTTP auth dialog can no longer be triggered by cross-origin resources on that link?
