Re: credential files

It almost sounds like it's a site you previously visited and used HTTP basic
authentication to access, and hit a checkbox to 'remember this information'.
So, you're visiting it again, Firefox goes "oh cool I have this login
information from the last time", and asks if you want to use the previous
information.. meaning, it's just something stored client side. If you hit
"yes", it will send an Authentication: Basic <base64-coded-login> header
along with the request.
Do you see any of that, or think that might be what's going on? Talk to you
soon!

Does anyone have any idea how a browser recognizes that a cite is asking
for a credential file, and hands it back to it?

For example, I go to a site, and firefox suddenly says "this sites wants a
credential - is this the credential that you want to give it?" I've used a
plugin that shows me http headers and responses, and see nothing where that
happens.

Links? Pointers? Clues for the poor?
