Firefox-3.x wil happyily popup the ftp:// auth dialog if the proxy-auth
header is sent.
There were a few bugs which got fixed in the 3.1 re-writes and made squid
start to send it properly. It's broken in 3.0, not sure if its the same in
2.x but would assume so. The fixes done rely on C++ objects so wont be easy
to port.
