My .emacs contains 

(setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-default-macosx-browser)

to open links in .org files via Chrome. The strange thing is that when I hit ftp://... links, they are opened in Firefox. All I found on this is How to make emacs org-mode open links to sites in Google Chrome I checked all the options there, nothing helped.

Note: I'm working on Mac OS X 10.7.3 with Emacs 24.

Unless org-link-protocols contains an entry for "ftp", the browse-url function should be invoked for this, in which case browse-url-browser-function would be used.

The latter can be a list mapping various URL patterns to different functions, but it looks like you're not using that ability.

browse-url-default-macosx-browser calls the open program, so I would have to assume that the problem is there, and thus external to Emacs.

You should be able to confirm that by running the shell command open URL for the various types of URL.
