Not random sites, but only when the protocol is ftp:// and the url ends in / (signifying an ftp directory) and the pref is set to upload when dropping to an ftp directory. Surely this will mean it will only upload when you want it to. The more important point is that this is the behavior in all previous versions of NS and IE and i believe opera so if mozilla wants to have a different behavior it *has* to be a pref. This is actually standard behavior in any browser, as far as I know. You will never upload by mistake unless you have an ftp account and you previously set up the account information in Moz (such as hostname, username, password) and you open a browser window specifically to that account and you set the pref to upload.
