I'm not getting a user name & password prompt when visiting an internal company website on version 35.0.1

We use Samsung Galaxy Tab 2's and 4's with LTE modems at my office. We have an internal company website users were able to access using Firefox for Android v 19.0.2 for sure. We chose Android due to its proxy support. We recently updated to 35.0.1 and the users no longer receive the prompt for their company credentials, it just goes straight to a page stating "You are not authorized to view this page," which is what they would get if they put in bad credentials normally. I've attached screen shots showing what the user should see and what they're getting now.

I have tried Firefox Beta with the same results. Firefox Aurora responds like it should, but that's obviously a ways off from a proper release and honestly, I'm not sure exactly what it is.

I'm going to continue testing on older versions to see where it broke, but I don't think I'm able to Push out an older version to install over the newer version to our tablets.

Thanks for any help/insight.

I have confirmed it works up to version 29.0.1 that I pulled from the archive site at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/29.0.1/android/en-US/

I see Firefox Beta is now in version 37 which resolves this issue. Anyone know how long it usually takes to go from Beta to Production? Maybe I can just buy some time. Thanks.

Hi Sean R

Firefox 37 is scheduled (as always subject to change) to be released on March 31, 2015: https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar

Cheers!

p.s. Beta is usually pretty stable; you can try using it as your regular browser if can't wait until March 31.
