User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0 Build ID: 20180327185825 Steps to reproduce: Ive added the following to about:config as booleans, set to false: network.protocol-handler.expose.ftp network.protocol-handler.expose.ftps network.protocol-handler.expose.sftp network.protocol-handler.expose.ftpes As you know, this allows me to choose an application to open these protocols with. Actual results: This worked perfectly for all protocols on Firefox 59.0.2 64bit under Windows 10. However. In Firefox 59.0.2 64bit under Linux Mint. All but the sftp:// one works. When I click a link with the sftp:// protocol, literally nothing happens. Expected results: I expected the popup from Firefox asking me which program I like to use to open it.

Unclear if the about:config settings were omitted from the description, or actually not set.

Is this issue still present? What version of Firefox are you using? What version of Linux Mint are you using?

So we don't support SFTP protocol, and the support of FTP has been removed. Right now nothing happens if users try to open a SFTP protocol url, we do generate a warning in the developer console though.

I think we can just close this bug
