Only 2?  You must have set some record for speedy customer service
from comcast.

I've used lftp to transfer a few things to my comcast account.  I
recall sometime way back when I had trouble deleting files, but it
either resolved itself or I managed to do something with their online
tools to fix it.  Either way though, this was a long time ago and it's
quite possible they've rewritten their online tools in such a way that
they are broken worse then they were in the past.

I uploaded some files via ftp within the last few weeks though.  So
that was working at least recently.

Their website creation tools just suck.  And if they admit that they
don't support Firefox or Linux, I'd simply move on and look for a
better hosting provider like Mikkel recommended.  Plus, that'll keep
your web files independent so when you get the chance to move to some
other ISP you won't have to worry about moving things.
