When I go to a page that contains JAVA, and I don't have the JAVA plugin, Mozilla tries to download it. However, I'm behind a masquerading firewall, and it doesn't work. If I could tell Mozilla to request passive FTP it would, but I can't find it anywhere. Please fix.

This is not a dup of the ftp PORT bug. In fact, your firewall probably prevents incoming connections. ferry@home.nl (Ferry), what kind of firewall do you have? What kind of proxy server? Can you FTP from other sites?

I heard there were other problems with getting Java plugin via the browser, so the reporter might want to go looking for duplicate problem descriptions.
