It worked perfectly for me. I believe the people that it isn't working for haven't set the search properties correctly on the add-on. If the message has ever been moved on the source end, then the message ID will be different and not seen as a duplicate. Just uncheck message ID and check date& time, sender, receiver, subject, and body are the same, and check save the first message.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.5.2.2).FireFTP

I've used FirefTP for years for FTP, and it works good. It lists SFTP as a feature. I told people it had SFTP, when they couldn't make it work I figured they just did something wrong. Today, while setting up a new Windows 7 machine, I had to use SFTP. It didn't work. Too many authentication failures it said. I doubted that very much. I downloaded Filezilla, a program I had never used before, and it connected instantly. Installed WinSCP set it up for SFTP, and tried it. Connected instantly. Turned off the firewall and tried FireFTP again. Same error.
I also don't like it that it keeps trying to connect every 10 seconds until the server blacklists you. There is not way to stop it. The old one doesn't do that. Disconnect doesn't work, abort doesn't work. You have to close the tab to get out of it. If that's the new default, it loses another vote.
Next I went back to my old XP machine where I had been using FireFTP for years.. Same 2.04 version. I set up SFTP there as well. Didn't work there either, but at least it didn't keep trying to make a connection after it failed.
Due to the work-from-anywhere culture we live in, it's not healthy to work with unencrypted connections at public hotspots. If you must manually distribute keys etc. to make it work, from any practical viewpoint, it has no SFTP.. This is for FTP only
User Agent Switcher
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
It installs displaying browsers I don't have. Has an add dialog box, but no way to browse and add. Talks about import and exporting profiles for browsers so you can import them. Uninstalled. Web Developer by the same author is my favorite add-on. What a surprise this was.
