Hi With the previous Firefox ESR (78.13.0-1) it was possible to display any FTP site (for instance : ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/ ) Since Firefox has been updated to 91.1.0-1 when I enter this ftp address I'm asked to chose which app to open this link !!! Firefox is proposed but nothing happens when I click on the "Open the link" button ! Blank page If I chose an other app (konqueror for instance) this app is launched and opens and displays the content of the site (I can navigate to ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/8/x86_64/media/core/updates and see that firefox 91.1.0-1 is in the Mageia8 updates !
ALL major browsers discontinued FTP support! This is the new standard! https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/07/20/stopping-ftp-support-in-firefox-90/
Thanks I didn't know that... I think that should have deserved a warning with the update (README.91.1.0-1.update.urpmi) I will have to change some bookmarks from ftp to https now that I know why they don't work I think I may close this bug report !
