Hello,

Can you please assist me on how to stop continually being prompted to for proxy server authentication when loading/navigating websites.

We are running version 29.0.1, In a work place LAN network with a proxy for connecting to the internet. Often when visiting websites, we are contantly bombarded with Authentication requests - which appears to be a request for every single advert or section of the site.

Any Ideas? The other option is Internet Explorer....but no one wants that!

Have you checked your proxy settings?

Are you having the problem with all web sites, some, a few?
