By default, Firefox will only perform GSSAPI (negotiate-auth) authentication
when the protocol is 'https://'.

Check the "network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris" and
"network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris" parameters (under "about:config") and
make sure that you allow "http://" as well as "https://" if you are 
accessing
non-SSL protected sites.

network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris = "https://,http://"
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris = "https://,http://"
