Comment(by benb):

 holla. I'm not finding any traces of any username or password in the code.
 I had assumed that Mozilla currently has one global username and password
 for the SOCKS proxy. (I don't use SOCKS myself, and never have in the
 past.) But it seems there's no username/password code at all:
 http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-
 central/source/mozilla/netwerk/socket/nsSOCKSIOLayer.cpp#459
 So, I'll have to add that, too.
