I’ve always been very happy with FireFTP, the ftp and website-management software that installs as an extension to Firefox. It’s completely intuitive, does what I need to do, and works as advertised.
Until recently.
I don’t know if the problem is that my Firefox installation has become bloated with all the new stuff I’ve downloaded for clipping and bookmarking (especially the so-called “social bookmarking”) and this is interfering with FireFTP’s operation, or what. (I seem to have a congenital inability to visit the Forefox Addons page without downloading something.)
All I know is that lately, FireFTP has been behaving strangely. It often doesn’t load cleanly and needs to be loaded more than once (separate tabs).
When I then attempt to close the now-useless perpetually loading tab, Firefox tends to crash. In fact, the crashing is quite reliable(!). Having lost a lot of partially finished emails and that sort of thing, I’m now in the process of installing Filezilla to see what that has to offer. I like the convenience of FireFTP, but want to try isolating the problems.
Has anyone else had similar difficulties with FireFTP?
