3.

Expected Results:  
The browser should have shown the contents of the site.

Why do you don't use "ftp://anonymous@host" ?

Because I need to enter a specific password for user anonymous. If I use
ftp//anonymous@host, I'm not asked for a password.

In the future, please let us know which version of Firefox you're using.

Assuming you're using a 1.0.x version, I suppose this is expected behavior. 
This bug was fixed on the trunk back in November.  Deer Park Alpha 1, or a
recent Mozilla 1.8x version would have the bug fix in it.
