Following upgrade to Firefox v30, with network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1 defaulting to 'false', users are unable to authenticate, even though NTLM v2 is being used. NTLM v1 had to be re-enabled for backward compatibility and network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1 had to be set to 'true' for Firefox to support authentication.

Release notes for v30 state: "network.negotiate-auth.allow-insecure-ntlm-v1

   Introduced in Forefox 30 on April 25th, 2014, disables use of our own internal implementation of NTLM module that talks only NTLMv1."

For Firefox to be a viable browser in corporate networks, the NTLM module needs to be updated to talk NTMLv2.
