  If you need Windows Authentication in firefox do the following:
  Open firefox
  Browse to about:config

  Find "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trused-uris"
  Modify the value and enter in your intranet sites that you must pass your
  username and password to.

  For some sites I connect to I also had to add values to:
  "network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris"
  "network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris"

Also worth looking at `Integrated Authentication`_ on the Mozilla website.
