The latest versions of firefox (78.10.0esr and 88.0 were released today. I noticed on phoronix that in 88 (but not 78.10) the first steps towards removal of the ability to download from ftp links were taken. Checking this in 88.0 (I normally have that available from testing beta versions, but using it to download from ftp links is not something I normally do) I see that at the moment it will require an application to be chosed to handle this.
According to phoronix ftp is expected to be removed completely in firefox-90.0. BLFS will remain on the 78-esr series until the next esr series is available (91.0) - at that point, downloading ftp via firefox will presumable no longer work. ĸen -- My inbox is kind of a modern-day Colossal Cave adventure: "You are in a maze of twisty email threads, all similar but with different hidden details". -- Linus -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
