The proxy moz-proxy://proxy.xxxxxxxxx.gov:8080 is requesting a username and password. The site says: "moz-proxy://proxy.xxxxxxxx.gov:8080"

I get this pop-up ALL the time on only one certain site and it even switches tabs when it pops-up which is very very annoying

See:

Check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if the "Use the system proxy settings" setting or one of the others doesn't work properly.

This is my office computer. It worked fine for months. There have been no changes to our security.
