If I click on a link that points to an FTP site that requires a login name and
password, I get an error message instead of the login dialog box. You can go to
ftp://64.232.84.54/ to test or you can click on the "Download" link on the page
http://www.survivingsepsis.org/chart_review.htm. I tried this in Mozilla 1.8b2
and it works correctly. It works correctly in IE all versions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.http://www.survivingsepsis.org/chart_review.htm
2.Click on "download" link
3.Instead of login dialog you will get an error.

Actual Results:  
Get can't login anonmyously error

Expected Results:  
Should get a login dialog box.

this bug prevents the use of any password secured ftp site.

If I go on some ftp-servers, firefox shows nothing....
in IE, all is displayed fine.

What's going on?
