I use Firefox to connect via Tor. Unfortunatly I always get the message "The server at 127.0.0.1 is requesting authentication. It says Socks authentication" with a user and password field. I can click "Ok" without any input and the message window disappears, but only for a short time. I encounter this really annoying behaviour usually with IcedTea browser plugin (Yes I know, bad for anonymity, but I have my reasons). In rare cases the message even freezes Firefox. I wasn't able to reproduce this properly but It usually happens if I click away the message and bring it back to focus.
I haven't found anything using Google which is rather strange. Am I alone with this? Has anybody an idea how to prevent this message from popping up?

well, it's easy to find out if icedtea is the cause. if you remove it can you reproduce the error?

So I did some browsing now and it seems this window only appears when a Java applet is running. IcedTea's logs are empty.
In IcedTea's settings I use 'Network->Proxy settings->use Browser settings' but I also tested with direct connection and manual proxy configuration, both don't change the described behaviour.

*Bump*
So before I start asking on the IcedTea mailing list, maybe somebody here already has an answer?
