Some things to double-check:  Are the Kerberos libraries installed on the
client?  If the client is a Linux system, are the Kerberos development
libraries installed on the client?  (At least some builds of Firefox on
some Linux distributions have tried to load the *.so name instead of the
full library name, which doesn't exist unless the development package is
installed.)  Are you certain Firefox is built with Negotiate-Auth GSSAPI
support on the client?
