The end users all use Firefox, but one of several problems we have encountered is that there certain things such as clicking on hyperlinks in word files seem to require the proxy username and password to be set in IE even though Firefox is the default browser and the hyperlink opens in Firefox. So we would like to automate the digest authentication for IE to shut windows up!
firefox has separate proxy settings. if you use system settings as the choice in firefox, this behavior is expect able.
instead of using hostname or IP, did you try having the proxy on your domain dns and referencing it via FQDN? that would also need you to have your domain name in the local intranet zone as microsoft decided to not include it. firefox also has it own trusted zone setting, which does not by default contain your own domain.
