Hi Nathan! Thanks for looking into this.

In a working Kerberos setup, you won't need to enter any credentials.
The browser can use the user's Kerberos ticket available in the system
to authenticate against the webserver. So when you get asked for
credentials it's a sign that Kerberos is _not_ working.

Maybe the information in the Bugzilla issue I created a few years ago
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1734791) can be of help in
tackling the issue. See my description and some of the comments for
additional information and workarounds people found.

I'm happy to test any Firefox snaps with proposed fixes!

Title:
  [snap] kerberos GSSAPI no longer works after deb->snap transition

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  New
Status in snapd:
  New
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I configure AuthServerWhitelist as documented:

  https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/http-
  authentication

  and can see my whitelisted domains in chrome://policy/

  but websites that used to work with SPNEGO/GSSAPI/kerberos no longer
  work. I'm guessing the snap needs some sort of permission to use the
  kerberos ticket cache (or the plumbing to do so doesn't exist...).

  I can confirm that Chrome has the desired behavior.
