So what do you need ? You should be able to do it all in Firefox. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

This is not FTP as Mozilla discontinued the ftp:// protocol on their servers back on August 5, 2015. The ftp://ftp.mozilla.org has not worked since.

After 8/5/15, ftp protocol support for ftp.mozilla.org will be completely disabled and downloads can only be accessed through http/https.

HI please edit out your email address this is a public forum with spammers and bots.

Any accessible site that was open or had a generic password you can get into just the way it is.

I think you need to expand on your information about your requirements. Also why would something like Filezilla not work ?

Are you talking about viewing and downloading from ftp:// like example url ftp://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ or are you asking if you can upload to ftp://

Firefox can only view and download from ftp://

If you want to upload then there are FTP clients like the mention FileZilla FTP client https://filezilla-project.org/ which has no relation to the company Mozilla.
