As I see it I have two options
Change to Waterfox and keep on using it
Don't do FTP access via the browser
The only non browser solution I have experience with is https://filezilla-project.org/ and I found it a bit clunky
Yonks ago I tried using Windows Explorer and gave it up as a bad job
Thoughts and advice please as i only have a month or so before Firefox 57 hits me
Fixed! Go to the fix.

1. Have a look at http://www.coreftp.com/download.html
2. Look at the Pale Moon browser - it supports FireFTP

Thanks @jelv that will be worth looking at when - or just before the evil day approaches
Fortunately the two sites I look after now use Wordpress (I changed them) and that doesn't need FTP access to make changes

Oldjim, not sure what specific features you're seeking from an FTP program, but you could take a look at WinSCP. I switched to it from FileZilla some time back and much prefer it.

But the OP said he didn't much care for FileZilla.

Plusnet are often criticised for not reading all the previous entries on a fault/ticket. And then we see the same on here - people posting replies without reading the whole topic (and it's not a very long topic either!).

Sorry - but then I would use a standard CLI program such as FTP.

But we also don’t know when OJ last used FileZilla and for someone to state using that as a preference might indicate it has improved. (It hasn’t)
I use WinSCP on windows and Transmit on Mac.
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

Thanks @Oldjim, I'll try that as I was annoyed at the failure of FireFTP as a result of this Firefox update.
