Kind of a bummer. Certainly not a feature I use with much regularity, but it is incredibly convenient when you come across the occasional FTP directory. Hopefully the handoff from Firefox to FileZilla is smooth.

+1 for WinSCP. It's so good I even run it in Wine on Linux. It fits my workflow so much better than Filezilla. It looks great and it's only as complicated as it needs to be.

This is fine imo. FTP is pretty much a legacy filesystem these days and not something regular users would ever use. WebDAV, HTTP servers with indexs and websites like Google drive/Dropbox have pretty much entirely replaced FTP.
The real replacement for FTP imo is S3. The API has become a pseudo standard, as it is supported by various cloud providers (B2, Google Cloud Storage, Digital Ocean Spaces, and many more)

Note that Filezilla is not associated with Mozilla (despite the name) and has longstanding issues with bundled adware to be careful of.

Best FTP client for Windows: WinSCP
Otherwise, just use the ones built into Windows.
On Linux I'd suggest just trying your file manager. Gnome Files has built in support for loads of remote filesystem types including ftp.

I just got WinSCP and automated a lot of manual work using their scripting API. Feels pretty good. (Meant to do that a while ago.)
