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.

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.

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.
