Bug 12974: Disable NTLM and Negotiate HTTP Auth
This is technically an embargoed Mozilla bug, so I probably shouldn't provide too many details.
Suffice to say that NTLM and Negotiate auth are bad for Tor users, and I doubt very many (or any of them) actually need it.
The Mozilla bug was https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1046421, however we still need to keep this patch because of tor-browser#27602 (which refers https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1261591) --- extensions/auth/nsHttpNegotiateAuth.cpp | 4 ++++ netwerk/protocol/http/nsHttpNTLMAuth.cpp | 3 +++ 2 files changed, 7 insertions(+)
