I also have this problem. For any ftp protocol URL, I get a "425 Can't open
data connection." error. I have no problem connecting to ftp servers using IE
or using command line ftp (via cygwin). FYI: I have "use passive FTP" turned OFF
in IE.
I'm sure this problem has something to do with how our network is configured,
but since I can use active ftp from the cygwin command line, I don't understand
why Mozilla can't get through.
I'd be happy to run tests to help fix this bug, since I use firebird for all my
browsing except when I hit an ftp site, when I have to switch to IE (you can
imagine how happy I am about that!). Thanks!

I can provide a test ftp site: ftp://68.232.75.147. This is my Linux box at
home. IE and Filezilla can reach it, but Firefox and Mozilla cannot. This was
confirmed by Neil Parks when I posted to the forum. I'll try to update the ip
address if it changes.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I did a network packet dump and discovered that mozilla is trying to RETR the directory instead of listing it.

I did a packet dump of a connection that worked and I see the problem. Some ftp servers disconnect you for the error of trying to RETR a directory. Unfortunately, mozilla tries that first. If it tried to CWD first instead, that might work better.

I'm not sure I can add much more to this bug, only that it is annoying, as it doesn't work very well on some FTP-servers, and not at all in some, including mine (GuildFTPd).
As Samuel, I did a TCP dump when Firefox 2.0.0.14 and the FTP-client in Totalcmd 7.0 tries to connect to ftp://ftp.sunet.se and browse the 'bin' directory,
With totalcmd, the FTP-session looks like this:
> PASV
227 Entering passive mode
> LIST
150 Accepted data connection
226-Options: -I
> CWD bin
250 OK. Current directory is /bin
With Firefox 2.0.0.14 it looks like this:
> PASV
227 Entering passive mode
> SIZE /
550 I can only retrieve regular files
> MDTM /
550 I can only retrieve regular files
> RETR /
550 I can only retrieve regular files
> PASV
227 Entering passive mode
CWD /
250 OK. Current directory is /
> LIST
150 Accepted data connection
226-ASCII
> PASV
227 Entering passive mode
> SIZE bin
550 I can only retrieve regular files
> MDTM bin
550 I can only retrieve regular files
> RETR bin
550 I can only retrieve regular files
> PASV
227 Entering passive mode
CWD bin
250 OK. Current directory is /bin
Anyone else that thinks that it is a waste to try to load a file as the first option for an FTP-site?
Also, when I click a _directory_ in Firefox, it should nkow it is a directory and it should not go through the process of trying to load a file first. It is not an elegant solution.
