This is a bug in Mozilla.
On this kind of request Mozilla tells Squid via Basic HTTP authentication
to login with a blank password.
What it should have done to work proper with Squid is to not send any
Basic HTTP authentication on the initial request and wait for Squid to
challenge for authentication and then prompt the user for the login
information (preferably only password).
