Since Firefox 3.0, I’ve been a big fan of Firefox, especially with the wonderful Delicious add-on.  However, I have to keep IE on my computer because using Firefox in Intranet is annoying.  I have to enter my corporate / domain credentials every time I visit a sharepoint site because by default Firefox does not automatically respond to NTLM challenge.  I finally found how to partially resolve this problem.

Why it’s partially?  After reading the article above, you will realize that the list does not support wildcards / regular expressions to cover all intranet websites (sufficient but not necessary, a site whose name does not contain a ‘.’ is an intranet site), so you still need to key in your frequently visiting sites one by one.  It’s said that all the configurations under ‘about:config" can be specified in ‘prefs.js’ or ‘user.js’ as well.  Now that it’s ‘.js’ file, maybe the list can be enabled to support wildcards / regular expressions by adding a couple lines of code into the file?  Didn’t try it.  Let me know if you did, and I’ll host you a coffee.
