I know that normally you can login to sites that require HTTP basic authentication with Selenium by passing the username and password in the URL, e.g.:

selenium.open("http://myusername:[email protected]/mypath");

I've been running a Selenium test with Firefox 2 and there I still get the "Authentication Required" dialog window?

Thanks for any hints!
