The was brought up as a point of curiosity on Steve Gibson's "Security Now" 
podcast a few months ago. My recollection is Chrome has the same plan. But the 
interesting thing is Mozilla surveyed to see who used FTP. It was some fraction 
of a percent as you can imagine. But later it dawned on me that by survey 
Mozilla meant the telemetry of Firefox. Telemetry is the first thing I disable 
on any program where it is possible and I suspect the kind of person who uses 
FTP in a browser is also the kind of person to nuke the telem. Thus I suspect 
the "survey" is s bit biased.

So if you nuked the telemetry features of Firefox, you can probably freak 
Mozilla out by re-enabling the telemetry then using FTP.

Subject: Speaking of Firefox and HTTP^H^H^H^HFTP...


I just updated Firefox to version 88, and now "ftp://"; support is
disabled by default, and the plan is to remove support in Firefox 90.

I've re-enabled it, will have to enjoy it to the max while it lasts...

[ Wietse's upstream FTP site for Postfix source tarballs will soon no
  longer be browser-accessible. :-( ]
