Confirmed (and marking as so). I was about to submit a duplicate until I found this.
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp needs_terminal = false command = /usr/bin/firefox %s enabled = true Maybe this occurs after 'Preferred Applications > Internet > Web Browser' is set to Firefox? Did anyone else do this, even unknowingly? If so, Firefox should not be set for FTP accounts, or there should be a separate section for FTP under 'Preferred Applications > Internet'. My suggestion, anyway. Workaround: Go to 'Places > Home Folder', select 'Bookmarks' in Nautilus and select your FTP bookmark.
