After 13 years and 25 million downloads later, Firefox has officially removed FireFTP and FireSSH support from the browser. Thus, I've ended support / development of the addons. I recommend switching to Waterfox to continue using the addons.

Core Tunnel logo Core Tunnel

Core Tunnel is the best way to manage your SSH tunnels, with OS X Keychain integration.

10 best SSH Clients for Windows: free alternatives to PuTTY
If for whatever reason you prefer not to use a separate software for SSH remote administration, then FireSSH addon for Firefox and Chrome can be a great alternative. A great example is when you are on a system that you do not have administrative privileges. While portable SSH clients could work on such Windows PCs, FireSSH extension is platform independent.
