Details

(Whiteboard: [Mac OS X Java Plugin])

The problem is that Java uses POSIX path names, but Mozilla is still using HFS+ pathnames. Using Necko's URI parser, I should be able to code around this by converting from POSIX to HFS+ (volume relative) pathnames.
Whiteboard: [Mac OS X Java Plugin]
Alternatively, I could construct a CFURLRef from the passed-in URL, and then use CFURLCopyFileSystemPath, with pathStyle=kCFURLHFSPathStyle, to convert the URL to a form Mozilla can understand.
This should be fixed as of v1.0d7.
