Old description:

> I hate the Firefox APIs. Will explain later.

New description:

 The on-modify-request observer is unable to modify Authenticate headers in
 most cases. The authenticate header is added by Firefox after this
 observer fires. We need to patch Firefox to provide these headers to us to
 modify/remove them properly (for #3748).
