If it's "not showing up" for you on Firefox 4, try this: Right-click in an empty area of a toolbar and choose "Customize...". In the list of items that comes up, scroll down to the bottom. You should see an icon for FireFTP. Drag this to one of the toolbars (I put it next to the "Home" icon. Click OK.

FireFTP works great for my web development work, since it's a full-featured FTP client that lives within the browser I have open anyway. One thing that's particularly cool is that it works well with Tab Groups in Firefox 4 (hit Ctrl-Shift-E). I can have multiple instances of FireFTP open and use Tab Groups to group each one with the pages I'm working on. Highly recommended!
