Firefox removed FTP support some months ago. Ironically when I copy paste that link it now prompts me to open it in Chromium.
WTF? that is ridiculous. I might drop Firefox over this.
That might sound crazy (FTP is an ancient protocol), but I spend a lot of time scouring FTP servers for old technical reports. Mozilla can't just wish FTP away.

Does your OS's builtin file manager not support this?

I mean, if you didn’t notice for a few months, is it really that big of a deal?
It’s not live yet on whatever release branch I’m currently running.
One user more for ChromeOS.
I will never use Chrome.
Works for FF 79, Manjaro Linux
Maybe it was removed for the Windows build? If so, what a bad decision, maybe for security reasons?

I normally use FF Nightly which explains the difference.

Works on Firefox 80
Ditto. Works as is on Firefox 80. No need to edit the URL. It is however not clickable, but you can select it and click "open in new tab" and it opens the PDF just fine.
That assumes that your browser supports ftp, which isn't the case in Firefox. If you're going to support ftp you might as well support generic URIs.
URI := scheme:[//authority]path[?query][#fragment]
Not sure what arcs support for regular languages is like.

It certainly is, at least on Firefox 80.
@dang, here's an updated version of valid-url which will make the link clickable:
I doubt it'll get merged, but you never know.It looks like the other change necessary is in the `markdown` function. It checks:
You'd need to add: If you grep the codebase for "https" then it'll reveal any other functions that need updates, but these are the only two in arc3.1.Of course, the cost-benefit doesn't quite add up here – it's not like ftp links are too common. But think of the poor university FTP servers! They'll be forever doomed to copy-paste-hell unless this is fixed. :-(
