Package: conkeror Version: 1.0.3+git170123-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream confirmed Control: forwarded -1 http://bugs.conkeror.org/issue513
When conkeror is used with Firefox 51 or above, and a site is password protected via HTTP Basic Auth (e.g. via .htpasswd), the expected password dialog no more pops up and the browser immediately shows the 401 page of the webserver. This is tracked upstream at http://bugs.conkeror.org/issue513 Current workaround is to use firefox-esr instead which is currently (but no more for long) at 45.8. -- Package-specific info:
