Type "about:config" in the Firefox URL. Then look for the
line "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris". Just type
in a few letters in the "filter" and the list will shrink
down. I usually type "ntlm" in the filter as there are only
two lines with that included.

Then double click and add yourservername and/or companyweb.
Put a comma but no spaces between the names. Then Firefox
will usually pass the credentials but unfortunately it
doesn't always, at least not for me.

After you make the change and then click cancel it will
usually continue on to the appropriate page but it will be
logged as a failed logon. I have days where it doesn't fail
at all and others where it still fails to pass the
credentials 10 times. Sometimes makes me want to go back to
IE.
