I agree with Brett. I never got a dialog either. Steps to reproduce:
1. Fresh install of hardy in my case
2. Set up an ftp site using Places Connect to Server
3. Upgrade to Firefox 3.0 from beta
4. Observe no dialog.
5. Open up the FTP site that was set up in step 2. It opens in Firefox

firefox has a feature that makes itself a default handler. It usually
asks you before doing that. but you can select dont ask
I've never seen that dialogue pop up. Firefox taking over the FTP
handler sort of just happens. I'm sure there iis a certain point in
time when it happens, but it definitely happens unknowingly to me; no
dialogue box here.

I'm running Hardy and it was a fresh install rather than an upgrade.

@Paul:
I think he means: how does it get set to Firefox after the gconf value is
empty? IE: when does this change occur? Because that is what we need to fix.

Ok Who added ftp handler to gconf? im assuming who ever added it meant for it
to work this way. But after talking to Alexander he doesnt know who added it to
gconf that makes me think that wasnt a mozilla packaging error but would need
to know what package added it there and who the person was.

Yes, I want Nautilus to just open FTP links.
The gconf keys I mentioned above appeared at some point, and they were
causing the unexpected behaviour. I am suggesting that some script
included in the Firefox *packages*, not Firefox itself, caused those
keys to be inserted. Again, I don't know

Confirmed (and marking as so). I was about to submit a duplicate until I
found this.
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp

Maybe this occurs after 'Preferred Applications Internet Web

Marked this bug as a wishlist bug due to it sounding like everyone would

Same thing happening here. I'm not sure if I would go so far as to say
that places menu should use nautilus no matter what the default ftp
handler is, but the bug as far as I'm concerned is that the ftp handler
should have been nautilus in the first place. It just needs to be
nautilus by default
I can confirm this. I edited the gconf entry to change from Firefox to
Nautilus. IMO, places are specific to Nautilus and should be opened with
Nautilus, even if the default FTP handler is not set to use it.
