Hi There!
Please check the solution mentioned here: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10522.aspx I remember someone else also suggested setting this option network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies to false as well.
Hope this helps!
Have a good one!

Dear Dawid
Thanks for the reply
After changing the above settings its working fine.
can i know what these two changes does in the firefox
Glad it worked for you!
network.negotiate-auth.allow-proxies Enable/disable SPNEGO by default when challenged by a proxy server.
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies Enable/disable automatic use of the operating system's NTLM implementation to silently authenticate the user with their Windows domain logon with proxy servers.
I am not an expert on this topic and base my reply on what I've found on the web, but you may have a look here for better understanding of how authentication works in Firefox:
