I agree that we shouldn't spend much time on this, but only because passive
mode seems to work more widely than active mode.  Basing FTP decisions in
general on what IE and Firefox support is a little bogus given that
historically browser FTP support has been far inferior to the support in
dedicated clients like FileZilla, which means people who care about FTP are
forced not to use IE/Firefox anyway.
