 Tor Browser Bundle (2.3.25-4) includes Torbutton 1.5 which appears to
 invalidate HTTP authentication after each page is loaded when the http
 authentication is on the root directory of the website.

 This message appears in the Error Console after entering the
 authentication information into the HTTP auth prompt:

 Torbutton NOTE: Removing 3rd party HTTP auth for url:  [scrubbed]

 The result is that the user must enter the HTTP authentication information
 for each page on the website.

 There was no issue in prior releases of the Tor Browser Bundle.

 The expected behavior is that the browser should store the http
 authentication  credentials until Active Logins are clear or a New
 Identity is selected.
