Thanks for your answers!
The first problem about the icons is solved, your answer was correct and
solved the problem.

About the second problem, I've added a dns entry for this proxy.
So I hope the next days the ftp will be faster.

Thanks for your helpfull answers!

Then your browser does not know how to find your Squid server by it's
visible_name.  (see the HTML source of a FTP directory listing..)

Maybe the IP address of your Squid server is not registered properly in
DNS. This can give significant delays in logging in to the FTP server
which will be very noticeable when using a HTTP proxy for ftp:// URLs.

Also, keep in mind that due to the stateless nature of requesting ftp://
URLs via HTTP the FTP connection is reopened on each request.

Squid is a HTTP proxy which can request mosly any kind of URL when
requested by HTTP clients such as web browsers. It will not work as a
FTP proxy for FTP clients. For FTP clients you need a FTP proxy.
