I have an Ubuntu workstation with Firefox always open on a (autorefreshing) web page protected by basic auth.
At startup, I have autologin and automatic Firefox start on the page and I have saved the basic auth credentials.
I'd like to confirm in some automated way the username/password dialog box which pops up on the first opening of the page, or I'd like to know if there's any hack to avoid this dialog box.
I tried setting the homepage to http://username%3Apassword@myserver/mypage put that doesn't stop confirmation dialog boxes.
Yay! it works with WID=
