Same happens using wget:

$ wget  ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/
--2015-08-10 12:32:48--  ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/
           => '.listing'
Resolving ftp.mozilla.org... 63.245.215.56, 63.245.215.46
Connecting to ftp.mozilla.org|63.245.215.56|:21... connected.

==> TYPE I ... done.  ==> CWD (1) /pub/mozilla.org ...
No such directory 'pub/mozilla.org'.

Curl seems fine though.

$ curl  ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/ | head -1
drwxrwxr-x    3 ftp      ftp          4096 Jun 05  2002 OJI

Seems like the difference is that Curl sends a `CWD` command for every single subfolder in the url. But wget, and any other browser are trying to use the `CWD` command using the complete relative url (`pub/mozilla.org`), and that is when the 550 status is returned.

FTP protocol has been turned off. It's intentional. For more info, visit <https://blog.mozilla.org/it/2015/07/27/product-delivery-migration-what-is-changing-when-its-changing-and-the-impacts/>
