Firefox & Chrome no longer display image from ftp servers

As of Firefox 70, images served from an ftp server will not longer be displayed. Instead, the browser will prompt to download or use the OS' image viewer.

This sucks, because I have served a lot of content on this site via ftp. I guess, someday, I'll have to migrate that info to the httpd instead, but that's kind of . . . unconfrontable right now. A lot of work.

The venerable OS/2 (eCommstation) ftp server ate its HDD around six weeks ago. Today, I finally migrated ftpd to the "new" server, which is Ubuntu. I am now officially no longer an OS/2 shop, after having a OS/2-based boxes running continuously since 1995. Time marches on.

Done. It was ~56 posts to update, which I did more-or-less manually in under three hours.
