I have a website (Still being developed but at the testing stage) which works fine in IE but when viewed in Firefox It insists on authentication at every page, instead of just one login it repeats the login at every page.

Hi,

If it's Basic auth, please check if this happens in a new profile. If it's okay, you can later copy the needed personal data from the old profile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in another location separate from its files/folder. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings (Tools (Alt + T) > Options, and about:config ), and usually would also be empty of any Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools > Add-ons) and their settings. Also, a new profile would have no previous stored website data/settings etc., (Tools > Clear Recent History).

about:config Entries

For NTLM authentication, you can try to automatically trust the domain in the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris list in about:config, eg. domain.com

Not sure, but for Kerberos, I think you would have to use network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris instead.

Thank you for this - I have tried all you have said and whilst it has not made matters any worse, it has not resolved my problem. It has been usefull for me in finding out more behind the scenes stuff for Firefox which I am sure will come in handy in the future.

However it does not solve my current problem so are there any other suggestions/ answers please?

It would be also be helpful to contact the IT/Network support for the authentication mechanism in use. If it's NTLM, you can also try the variations like .site.com or the full name/exact name. You can also try to temporarily test without using a proxy: Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Advanced > Advanced > Network > Settings > No proxy. Options > Advanced
