I am trying use FF to open an FTP site that i used to open with Internet Explorer. When I used IE to open it, i would have to click on the tools option of "Open FTP with Internet Explorer". Naturally when I typed the address into my FF bar, I started looking for the "open FTP with FF" button. I couldn't find it. Can you help?
