In recent implementations of FF and Chrome passing username and password via URL is no longer accepted and the website you are trying to visit won't be shown. However the credentials are cached, so if you do one browser.go with username and password in the URL (not expecting anything being rendered), any subsequent visit of the site will be authenticated with the chache username and password.

To be more clear: you must only add username and password in that first call. Do not use them it subsequent calls, otherwise the browser will refuse to render the page.
