using http authentication in bookmarklet forces dialog confirmation, how to avoid?

Asked by bluegreenone in JavaScript, Firefox Web Browser

Tags: firefox, authentication, about, dialog, http

I have created a javascript bookmarklet that uses URL-based http authentication (see code snippet).  Firefox for security reasons forces a dialog confirmation the first time the bookmarklet is called:  "You are about to log into the website...with username....".  I'd like to "automate" the bookmarklet, is there any way to avoid the dialog or auto-accept it?
