Matthias,
I'm the developer of FireFTP. Sorry for not weighing in earlier.

The code in question is here:
http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/fireftp/src/content/js/connection/dataSocket.js?rev=1.52

Basically, all FireFTP does is, when it comes to SSL sockets:
this.dataTransport = this.transportService.createTransport(["ssl"], 1, this.host, this.port, proxyInfo);

There isn't anything that the extension does beyond that in messing around with the socket. It seems that something underlying in Mozilla's socket code is conflicting with vsftpd patched code.

Is vsftpd at fault or is Mozilla code at fault? I'm not sure - I think a networking engineer at Mozilla might need to take a look.

FWIW, my guess is this bug should be filed under Core->Networking.
