If I weren't writing I think this would have ended my career. I am so sick of the destruction of the internet and the World Wide Web. It's not to be dismantled. It's to be built upon! FTP is still a valuable tool. Mozilla shame on you. zdnet.com/article/now-firefo…

I haven't come across content distributed via FTP in a very very very long time... do you have examples of what will become harder to access?

Some of us use other protocols on the internet for a variety of reasons we are not just web specific folks. Mozilla could have just as well implemented SMTP if they wanted to

As is nntp … all the protocols, character based and efficient are so senselessly neglected. Because they do what theyre supposed to with less Volume.
