Hi,

since i am using Mozilla 1.0 RC1 i can not visit ftp sites. every time i type in
an url or click on a link starting with ftp:// mozilla wants to download the
filelist of directorys instead of showing it in the browser. The download dialog
says "you have choosen ... a file of the type text/ftp-dir-".
The filename is set to something like 3wqwfjua. Inside this file, the content of
the ftpdirectory is listed. I do not know if this is an windows only issue.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. see ftp://ftp.kernel.org for example

Expected Results:  Show the directory listing in the browser

Have you changed the debug settings to a RAW listing? Thats a debug only option,
and this is the expected result in that case.

INVALID.

There have been a few of these recently - maybe I should add a "You Don't Want
This" text to the options

Hi,

oh yes that's true. I thought this options would disable those icons in the ftp
listing...
I am sorry for that.

added "raw" to summary for searchability.

I'm assuming raw has basically un-human readable.
