I am fine if Mozilla explains that FTP usage is now very low, based on telemetry and that there are FTP clients available for users.
However, there is no need to characterizes FTP being dangerous by jumping from FTP is old and is in plaintext, to FTP servers are being exploited and used to distribute malware, to FUD-type statement implying that there are [unspecified] exploits now available to attack Firefox if FTP was enabled.
This is just plain disgusting and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
