A domain login is not mandatory for this to work. If there is an
account with the same user name and password on a standalone server squid
is running on as the user account executing IE it works as well,
even Firefox works like that. When you sniff the communication with a
protocol analizer such as wireshark you'll find that there's an automated 
NTLM authentication performed. The big question is: "How do they manage
this?" It's AFAIK not documented how to get current user's password from
Windows.

It does obviously not depend on the proxy server.

No it doesn't. If someone wants to understand how that can be achieved
I guess a look at FireFox's source code would help.

So far the workaround is to store the password once when entered by the
user for further use, useless to mention that should be stored as safe as
possible.
