Yup, this was first reported 2002-01-31 01:25 PST by Ivan Dolezal...

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122752

It might be best if you voice your opinion on the bug report, rather than this thread though.

Please do not. Read the bugzilla etiquette first. Do not comment or voice your opinion in the bug report. You can vote for it, but that's all; unless you have something technical that contribute to the solution.

That's not what the Bugzilla etiquette says.

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=etiquette.html

Your opinion is as valid as the next guys, so long as it's constructive.

The opinion you suggested should be posted in bugzilla was:
GarryG wrote:So why is this issue more or less ignored for over _8_ years? I mean, using some kind of authentication with a Socks5 server can't be that unusual ... having to install an extra local proxy just to have authentication work is a PITA ..

That's obviously not constructive. Please don't suggest it be added to a bug report again.
