Hello there. We are developing website to configure our device. Webserver apache2 is configured to use Basic Authetication. One directory, that requiers authentication, doesn't have index.html and is browsed as "Index of /...". If i open a file on this webpage in the same tab, tab title is <ip>/<directiory>/<file>. But if I open file in new tab, tab title is <login>:<password>@<ip>/<directory>/<file>.

Hi vall.boitsova:

Sounds like a bug to me; I did a quick search and didn't find an existing bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=basic authentication

I you can't configure an index.html then please file a bug on bugzilla.mozilla.org

Cheers! ...Roland
