MOZILLA WANTS TO DROP FTP SUPPORT FROM FIREFOX
>Mozilla is in this exact situation. The organization apparently wants to drop support for FTP in a future version of its Firefox browser. And, even though most folks are likely not making use of it, there are still hundreds of thousands if not millions of other people who will be affected.
>The bug report lists no reason as to why FTP support should be removed from Firefox. Doug Turner, the tester who proposed this change, only points to a Chromium project issue for more information, but without adding any clarification after.
CHROMES REASON?
>We should consider removing built-in support for FTP from Chrome and move it out to an app. Over a 7-day period, only .1-.2% of users end up navigating to any FTP URL (with slightly higher numbers amongst Linux desktop users)
