Same issues as the previous users. Getting the account list error on both version. Downgraded to 2.0.5 to get it to work.

Normally a great piece of software.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.6.1-signed).

Sorry that you've run into this issue. The new version of FireFTP is doing
migration of an old account format to a new one. Unfortunately, there are some illegal characters that make it difficult to upgrade to the new format that Mozilla now requires. (specifically, the combination of trying to convert international characters and the '%' character creates problems).

If 2.0.7 isn't working for you, you can try the following:
- find your profile folder, here are instructions:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data
(if you're on a Mac it'll be under: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles)
- find the file in your profile folder called fireFTPsites.dat
- remove the '%' characters found in the file.
- install version 2.0.7 and readd the % characters back in later as needed. (not directly into the file, but via the regular FireFTP interface).

Again, sorry for the inconvenience,
Mime
