Tomcat 7 manager app not prompt for login

When I first go to the manager app http://localhost:8080/manager/html, there was a browser prompt login window asking for username and password. By entering the wrong username and password, the page returned 403(access denied).

So I googled a bit and setup as follows:

<role rolename="manager-gui" />

<user username="admin" password="tomcat" roles="manager-gui"/>

<!-- these 2 lines was there before my editing -->

<user password="tom" roles="manager-script,admin" username="tom"/>

<user password="tomcat" roles="manager-script,admin" username="tomcat"/> 

After restarting tomcat, the manager app this time shows 403 page directly without asking for username and password.
So I'm a bit confused. What kind of authentication is this manager app using?
And how can I login to the manager app?

  Tomcat manager uses basic authentication. Username and password must match the user in tomcat-users.xml with the role manager-gui. Have you been able to solve this issue?

This has to do with the browser and its policy to preserve active logins. For Firefox you can go to ''Tools'' -> ''Clear Recent History...'' and clear ''Active Logins''. Refreshing your manager app after that will pop up the prompt you were asking for.
