I think this is a server issue. I cannot connect anonymously with either Firefox
or IE, but IE prompts for a username and password when it fails. I am using
Firefox 1.0 on Win XP SP2.

My reply:

Oh ok. Your bug description is very misleading then. Something like
"Firefox does not prompt for ftp username & password when anonymous
connection fails" would be better. You should change the priority to
Enhancement too, because this is not a feature that Firefox has at the
moment.

Please keep all discussion on the bug.

If the reporter or someone with sufficient priveliges could fix the bug summary
and severity that would be great.

It's already fixed, and should appear in the next firefox release.
