Here is how we can re-enable FTP protocol support in Firefox: You can also change FTP app for Firefox later. For Firefox 91 and above, you have to setup an external FTP app such as WinSCP to work with Firefox. Update: The following method does not work with Firefox 91 and above. We can download those files only of Firefox has FTP support enabled. So many of the Linux distros are available through FTP servers. For this to work, you should have installed an FTP client such as FileZilla, WinSCP, Cyberduck or CuteFTP that associates itself as default app to handle FTP protocol on your PC.Įven though the aforementioned FTP clients are definitely much better at accessing FTP servers than a web browser, sometimes we need quick access to FTP servers for example to download files. If you try to access any FTP server using Firefox, it will display options to choose third-party FTP client applications. This means that users won’t be able to access FTP servers directly from the Firefox browser after updating to version 88.
Starting with version 88.0 of the Firefox browser, FTP protocol has been disabled.
