Sitecore Media Upload is not working for Safari or FF with Windows Authentication turned on

Recently, I have been spending time trying to figure out how to get Media Upload to work for Safari or FF when Windows Authentication is turned on IIS.

Safari or FF will ask for credential again when uploading files, even though you have entered the credential when you browse the website for the first time. When you enter the credential, Firefox will freeze while Safari will throw an error.

I have tried changing the config in Firefox by tweaking "network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris". This setting can be shown by typing "about:config" in url bar. It still does not work.

I have then lodged a ticket with Sitecore support. Few days later they come back with a solution that is to enable "Anonymous" authentication in IIS for ‘/sitecore/shell/Applications/FlashUpload’ and ‘/sitecore/shell/Applications/Media’.
