I could insert some insults here, i won't. But the one feature i do use, every so often, you plan to remove. I kept my mouth shut when you revamped the addon system because, well, you claimed it's safer. But don't just drop FTP like you dropped IRC just because most users don't use it frequently, because that's a skewed statistic.Īnd don't complain about manpower, you had plenty manpower to roll out totally useless crap like sending big files, syncing bookmarks and more features that i never used. You can even do that in Rust, if it pleases you. If you are unhappy with the code base, start working on a new FTP implementation if that pleases you more. If you seriously think the FTP code has security issues, then perform an audit and fix the issues.
Meanwhile, the people that backed Mozilla once are pulling their hairs. Now features are getting removed to please the masses because 99% don't use FTP on a daily base. Then feature creep came along to please the masses. Mozilla is loosing a lot of karma points with this attitude. Maybe it's not rewritten in Rust yet and you all consider that an issue. New code is not more secure than old code as if by magic. Sure, possible, and nothing wrong with old code. I assume you mean 'Mozilla's FTP code is old'. I'll take ownership for any security issues, of which there aren't any if used appropriately, because not everything a browser accesses is on the public Internet.īrowser developers need to fire their Information Prevention Departments.Īlso, a part of the FTP code is very old, unsafe and hard to maintain I don't mind them changing defaults and disabling things for grandma, but please please please, leave the functionality there and allow it to be re-enabled through some sort of power users setting. Eventually, even that's going to stop working because compatibility with newer OSs will break. So, that forces me to dig out some old browser version. But, more and more, the browser nannies are doing things like not accepting self-signed certs, or no longer supporting older encryption. Personally, I don't even need that - it's on my home LAN and I'm not snooping on myself. Or WS_FTP, if you want a WinGUI.īut, I agree with the general sentiment - I have stuff old LAN stuff which was secure at the time, so uses https to manage it.
for many software depositories, the only way you can even access them is via ftp.
