There is a bug in new FF regarding kerberos auth. May be, that matters:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=857291

Regarding:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/action/show/Features/Authentication#Can_I_use_different_authentication_mechanisms_together.3F

It states:
>Due to a bug in common User-Agents (most notably Microsoft Internet
Explorer) the order the auth-schemes are configured is relevant. RFC 2617,
chapter 4.6, states: A user agent MUST choose to use the strongest
auth-scheme it understands. Microsoft Internet Explorer instead chooses the
first authe-scheme (in the order they are offered) it understands <

However, AFAIK, this NOT correct (any more) regarding Internet Explorer.
Starter of this thread confirmes this.
Pls, update.
