there are two think
1) you are tring to access it through the same uid from which you
login in windows

actually IE automatically detect the user id from which you login in
windows and pass your credential to the server in the other hand in
firefox you have to give uid and password and firefor will sent the
uid which you entered.

so teh rights managment is base on the authontication as IE show the
rights from which you login in windows and firefox show the rights
which you provide at the time of the login in sharepoint

To solve the problem simple place your site to Tusted Zone. To do it:
1. Open from IE menu option"tools->internet options"
2. Select tab "security"
3. Click on icon "trusted sites"
4. Press button "Sites" and in the new opened window add your site
("http://your_server_name") to the list.
