Stopping FTP support in Firefox 90

http, dns, and other things are unencrypted.

What would happen if they rip it out?

What should be done is push for things like ftps or add big warnings around it.

That wasn't the decision. Maintaining this was.

they will surely rip them out when they have fallen to the levels of usage that FTP is at now

Edit: not sure why this is being downvoted... if you read the actual link, it says they intend to deprecate HTTP.
