Comment(by mikeperry):
Heh. This turns out to be due to favicons. We strip the auth off of them
because technically the browser chrome UI (not the website) is loading
them. This might be a little tricky to fix in the general case, but I
think I should be able to special case just favicons for HTTP auth without
too much trouble.
For now, as a workaround you can go into about:config and set
browser.chrome.favicons and browser.chrome.site_icons to false.
