Plus Mozilla isn’t an organisation the size of Google. They have to prioritise what they’re going to support and it makes total sense to ditch FTP support. I’m a professional web developer and I’d never choose which browser I use based on whether it supports FTP. I barely ever use it, and when I do I just use FileZilla or something similar that makes much more sense for FTP.

Mozilla just does a browser (at least they should only do one) so 500MM USD /year or whatever their budget is should suffice, right?

- JohnTHaller 7y agoThis was an old version of FileZilla from 2016 from a relatively short-lived experiment when a previous incarnation of SourceForge was helping open source projects 'monetize'. There was no malware and no infection. It was an online downloader with bundleware. FileZilla is solid software and every version has been clean. I know because I scan every release in dozens of antivirus engines via VirusTotal as part of packaging FileZilla Portable for PortableApps.com.
