Question is what does "generic NTLM" mean?
   NTLM being the collective brand name (yes brand name) for a
collection of security encryptions which includes things as far as
Windows 3.1 CRC "encryption". Little better than clear text in terms of
security.

  network.automatic-ntlm-auth.allow-proxies - should be set to true, and
probably also resolves most Firefox popups when using a proxy without
needing to force generic NTLM.
