I assume by "password prompt" you mean the admin and/or admindb login
page.

Are you 'realriot', the submitther of SF bug [ 1996767 ] Authorization
failed using FF3 (Win32)? If so, I can avoid commenting there until we
have some resolution here.

The two methods, going to
<http://example.com/mailman/admin/list?adminpw=xxx> vs. logging in
from the login page are completely different. The former is an HTTP
GET for the url with the additional adminpw fragment; the latter is a
POST with a few items of post data including adminpw.

Questions:

Can you administer the list or just moderate? Whichever you can do,
once you log in via the ?adminpw= method, does the rest of the
interface work? Can you successfully change things, approve posts,
whatever?

Can you log in to a private archive?

Can you log in to your user options page on this (mailman-users) list?

What Mailman version is yours? What Windows version?
