[Bug 208091] [NEW] firefox will not open local files from remote files

[Daniel LaGesse]

Public bug reported:

I'm using the Firefox 3 beta 4 backport I found in one of the other bugs
in backports.

When there is a link to a local file in a remote file (I noticed this at
https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/programming/C/ar01s01.html), Firefox will
not open it when clicked, or in another tab. If you copy the link
location and do it manually, it works fine.

I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug however. It seems to be
annoying, but I may be overlooking security concerns.

Daniel

note: Is this in the right place? I wasn't sure.
