That was mentioned elsewhere and I agree that is a legit use case. But why would you use a web browser to get there, and not the built in client in your OS or one of many other client choices?

Many oses don't come with FTP clients anymore either. I don't think Windows still does. They removed FTP and telnet in Windows 7 IIRC.

Not that I'll really miss it in Firefox but still...

Because the firmware link came in an e-mail advisory, and I clicked on it, and it launched by web browser, which then saved it in my "Downloads" directory.
