This does seem to be a function of the interaction between Squid, Mozilla and the ftp service. If I use ftp://username@xxxxxxxxxxx without proxy I am prompted for a password, and can log in. If I try the same with proxy (either Squid2.5Stable7 -> Squid2.5Stable4 -> Squid2.5Stable3 (local proxy, cache parent, cache parent) or just the Squid2.5Stable7 proxy), I don't get prompted for a password, and see the error:
This is a bug in Mozilla.
On this kind of request Mozilla tells Squid via Basic HTTP authentication to login with a blank password.
What it should have done to work proper with Squid is to not send any Basic HTTP authentication on the initial request and wait for Squid to challenge for authentication and then prompt the user for the login information (preferably only password).
