Security-wise, Firefox 90 introduces support for Fetch Metadata Request Headers, a security feature that lets web apps protect themselves and you against various cross-origin threats, such as cross-site request forgery (CSRF), cross-site leaks (XS-Leaks), or speculative cross-site execution side channel (Spectre) attacks. However, Mozilla said in a blog post that the FTP protocol is now included in the list of supported protocol_handlers for browser extensions, which means that Firefox add-ons will be able to prompt users to launch a FTP application to handle certain links. But starting with the Firefox 90 release, all FTP code is now gone forever and can’t be re-enabled, which means that you’ll have to use a special app to access your FTP sites. Mozilla started deprecating FTP support since Firefox 88, but users where able to re-enable the feature by setting the option from false to true in about:config. Firefox follows on the footsteps of Google Chrome/Chromium, and other web browsers, to no longer allow access to ftp:// links.
The biggest change in the Mozilla Firefox 90 release is the deprecation of FTP (File Transfer Protocol) support.
Mozilla published today the final bits of their upcoming Firefox 90 web browser for all supported platforms, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows.
