Hi Tobias,
it is nice that at least Firefox tries to fix these issues, but until these features are not supported at least by Gecko + Webkit browsers (FF + Chrome, Safari, ...) there is no reason to use them.
I am not interested in ton of support questions/requests why something works in one browser and not in others ...

No, CalDavZAP is pure JavaScript application, but it has one major limitation: if it sends the username+password directly to the *DAV server and these credentials are invalid, then your browser shows the auth popup window (because it handles the WWW-Authenticate: response header) what breaks the consistency of the GUI.
With Firefox, you can try to issue a XHR with mozBackgroundRequest = true. cf. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest
2.) change the source code and perform the request to the auth module without requiring click to the "Login" button. The reason why there is no such option is that I really hate it, because of the stupid implementation of the basic auth by browsers (there is no way to logout without browser restart)
This is not true. Firefox let's you do this via Ctrl+Shift+Del (cf. http://superuser.com/a/181554/265964). There is a bug report for having a more native UI, though: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300002
Cheers, Tobi
