Set the option to "Automatic Login only in Intranet Zone". This will allow users that are currently logged in with an Active Directory account to "automatically" be logged into SharePoint.

Set the option to "Access data sources across domains". This will prevent a warning message when the browser attempts to authenticate to Confluence when SSO is enabled.

FireFox 2.0

1. Ensure Firefox is closed. This process will not work if Firefox is open (because it will overwrite the changes you will make to the prefs.js file).
2. Optional step: This approach will open up your Firefox security quite a bit, so I'd recommend setting up a separate profile in Firefox to use when testing. It will not pop up a security dialog when a cross-domain AJAX call is made. Please see http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles for more information on Managing Profiles.
3. Find your prefs.js file. In Windows, it is typically located in the C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR_USERNAME>\ApplicationData\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<YOUR_TEST_USER_PROFILE_ID>\prefs.js, and in Mac OS, it is typically located at /Users/<YOUR_USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<YOUR_TEST_USER_PROFILE_ID>/prefs.js
4. Open it up and add the following lines:

   user_pref("capability.policy.confluence.XMLHttpRequest.open", "allAccess");
   user_pref("capability.policy.confluence.sites", "http://<sharepoint url 1> http://<sharepoint url 2> http://<sharepoint url n...> ");
   user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "confluence");
   

5. Save prefs.js
6. Restart FireFox.
