What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open the following URL in Firefox
http://67.202.30.116/basic-authentication.html
2. Click 'Submit' trigger to trigger submission
3. Submission fails to get beyond xforms-submit

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect two separate modal xf:messages, one each for xforms-submit and
xforms-submit-done followed by the display of a list of financial product
names.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

The submission tries to retrieve the following file that is protected by
HTTP Basic authentication
http://xforms.localhost/protected/inst-product-list-complex.html.

The form xf:submission includes an xf:header element child element that
supplies the 'Authorization' header details and username/password details
as a base64 encoded string.

The form does what's expected when it's loaded with Internet Explorer
(tested with IE 7).

Firefox version tested with was 3.5.5.
