from v67.0, firefox prompts for authentication to the proxy, seemingly every time a new domain is called, making firefox unusable, it takes 20 to 30 authentications to load some sites.

configured to use manual proxy config use proxy for all protocols checked Do not prompt for authentication if password is saved is ticked. [doesn't affect behaviour] Proxy DNS when using socks v5 is ticked [doesn't affect behaviour]

hi djvhw, can you try if this issue is still apparent in firefox 68, which you can download as beta version from: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/channel/desktop/

this might be the same problem, that is discussed and fixed in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548804
