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"
