Nov. 2021 Update: I started getting this error when I upgraded to the newest version. I had to uninstall Filezilla and re-install the previous version which was Filezilla 3.55.1 - I don't know why the latest version I started to get these errors.

Solution: Roll back to an older version of Filezilla. I would imagine Filezilla is aware of this and hopefully they will fix it on the next release but for now, the quickest solution for me was to roll back my version to 3.55.1

I had the same issue, all you need to do is go to the Filezilla application and select the following configuration settings:

Close Filezilla and restart, try to connect to your FTP server again, this time, the directory listing should work OK without any more errors.
