You'll need to enable NTLM authentication in Firefox. Instructions here.

  1. Open Firefox and type “about:config” in the address bar. (without the quotes of course)
  2. In the ‘Filter’ field type the following “network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris”
  3. Double click the name of the preference that we just searched for
  4. Enter the URLs of the sites you wish to pass NTLM auth info to in the form of: http://intranet.company.com,http://email.company.lan
  5. Notice that you can use a comma separated list in this field.
