I explained her how to fix this. From my mail:

Me:

Append &strip=1 at the end of the cache URL, like this:
http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:www.mentaldischarge.com&strip=1

More about your problem:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/01/browsing-web-using-google-cache.html
where I link to some scripts that let you browse the site from Google Cache.

Kat:

That wouldn't fix my problem, as I can't type in the address bar or click on anything when the login window is open. When I close it, it comes back up much too fast to do anything in the meantime.

Me:
Install this Greasemonkey script in Firefox:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6637

you'll get a new link called "Text" in the search results pages.

Google only caches the text, images/JS/objects are loaded from their original locations.

Also, it's unfair to say: "Google cache locks browser", because if you press esc for 5-6 seconds the authentication dialog goes away.

Yes, and that's why I didn't say "Google cache locks browser", but "Google cache locks browser (almost)".

The same effect for Yahoo cache, MSN cache.

The point is, I shouldn't have to use a Greasemonkey script or append something to the URL to stop it. Google's cache should either stop the dialog after so many tries, or else find a way to give me the 403 Forbidden page.

Oh, and thank you, holding down Escape fixed it... I'll keep that in mind for the future. :)
