Squid asks the client to authenticate if you include a username but omit
the password. However, again implementation varies from browser to
browser, some browsers understanding that HTTP authentication makes
sense for ftp:// URLs when talking to a HTTP proxy, some don't..

Most "command line / libraries" does.. and I would not at all be
surpriced if the communications library used in Mozilla also does and
all that is missing is the small glue to make it usable from the GUI..
