serious flaws browsing web through proxy server that requires user authentication

Details
I was trying out Mozilla Milestone 12 at work under Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack
4. Our proxy server requires user authentication (a firewall user name and
password) to get onto the Internet. I set up the firewall settings in
Preferences-->Advanced-->Proxies. When I try to go to a web page outside our
intranet, I get the usual proxy authentication dialog box, common to both
Internet Explorer and Netscape. It then asks me if I want to save the user
information for use later, and I click OK for that. However, that's where the
normal operation ends. Occasionally I can get out to the Internet, but only
after clicking through the proxy user authentication dialog box many, many
times. Even though it saved the user name and password the first time, it seems
to "forget" them. It also seems like Mozilla wants authentication for
downloading EVERY item on the web page, such as pictures. (I tried this on
www.yahoo.com, although I've noticed it on many other web pages.) Most of the
time, however, I cannot get out to the Internet at all. The DOS debugging window
gives me a "Document: Done" message when trying to load an Internet page, but
the browser window is completely blank. The dinosaur and bar animation in the
lower left hand corner stop moving, as if it is done loading the page. I
previously installed older builds of Mozilla on the computer, but I deleted them
properly, as described in the uninstalling of Mozilla on the mozilla.org web
page.
