Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When using Firefox 1.5.0.12 (on Ubunti 6.06.1 LTS) to connect to a ftp
server running the Microsoft FTP Service, the year column is
misinterpreted in quite an embarassing way. Embarassing, as it looks
like firefox had an Y2K-issue of correctly using year strings.

Sample from ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/utility/:

440bx_cd  	 	14.04.104  	20:22:00

The ".104"-files really are from 2004.

When using netkit-ftp or lftp, both display the year colum "correctly":
