Fallback for Spengo not working for Firefox even though it works for IE

Hi, I am using firefox, 3.6.8. I am trying to connect to an AppServer which uses SPNEGO as an external user. I have a fallback set up so that if it is an external user and SPNEGO fails, the AppServer will revert to Applicate Security which is simple BASIC authentication.

The fallback works ok for IE but not for Firefox. If I try to access the site, firefox just tells me:

SPNEGO Authentication not supported on this client and the fallback never happens.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== When I first tried it

Also, update your Java to the current version and clean out the old Java Console Extensions. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+the+Java+plugin+with+Firefox http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Multiple_Java_Console_extensions
