I am trying to recommend to my users to change IE to Firefox at work, but every time i open a site i get this "Authentication required" message box, which is bothersome.. i put the username and password but in a few minutes i get the message again (this doesn't happen with IE or Chrome, only Firefox).

How can i remove this "authentication required" message box to tell my users to change for a better navigator get more power ? i really want to change their experience through the web.

I hope you can help me. Thanks

Cor-el thanks for your answer.. i try the solution you gave me but it didn't work, i installed the add-on "Integrated Authentication For Firefox 2.0.1" but the message is still showing... even for mozilla.com and microsoft.com.

Is there a configuration to disable it ? it's a little complicated for users to deal with it every time it shows.
