Authentication prompting in Firefox

Hi,

Has anyone had any success with supressing the login prompt for SAB when using a username\password?
Firefox remembers my details, but I have to click OK for each session - using username:password@sabwebsite.com causes an OK prompt to appear instead.

I've tried adding the site (localhost, 192.168.1.100, server) to:

network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris
network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris

in about:config but this doesnt seem to work.

Thanks.

That's just the way basic authentication works in browsers.
The user:pw@site only works for API calls.

Later we will try to implement cookie-based storage of credentials
like Google and Wikipedia do.
