Are You Getting Login Prompts When Debugging Code in Firefox?
Have you ever been debugging code in Firefox when suddenly you're hit with a login prompt for certain elements referenced on the page?
We've run into this issue a couple of times and decided to investigate what's actually going on. It's an annoying little occurence that can make a programmer want to band his or her head against the wall.
Many thanks to Martin Crockett for this fix. His was the first web site we found the solution at. We will repost the fix here for archiving purposes.
In the address bar type "about:config" (without quotes). Hit enter.
In the filter, type "ntlm".
Double-click on network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris
Type in "localhost" (without quotes). Hit enter.
This will add "localhost" as a trusted URI within Firefox and alleviate you of those annoying debugging occurrences.
