FTP support (bring it back!)

[KERR]

Controversial request, I know.

I'm sure there's valid reasons it was removed, and I know Chromium has ditched it too.

I'm guessing most people use FTP just to browse or download files. It's annoying having to download and install Filezilla just to download a one-off file. I can't even find a clean or reliable way to do it in PowerShell.

Is there any hope? How about allowing an addon to handle FTP functionality?

Thanks

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Just use Filezilla. Regular ftp is almost dead or at least it should be.

Most FTP URL's also support HTTPS.  For example. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/
