The page has the text and HTML but none of the CSS. If i edit it in Composer, it appears the same way. If I try to save it, the save dialog shows "D-%5Cthecia%5Creviews%5C=redirect.html", albeit in the right folder. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

The "\" character gets escaped and converted to %5C. If you use "/" instead, e.g. file:///D:/cvs-1.11.5/mozilla/mozbuild.log - it won't be changed. Then, if you save the page, it just saves as "mozbuild.log". It's possible that the save-as dialog should recognize %5C as a directory separator, but the current behavior might be by design. Are you sure your css file is referred to properly? A test page I created worked properly.
-> NEW. I guess we had to give up on this issue, it was just a matter of time....

This bug happens when there are backslashes in the local path. When I changed the path to forward slashes it worked. For example: This works: file:///c:/usr/html/info.html links find to info2.html ( in the /usr/html directory) Whereas file:///c:%5Cusr%5Chtml%5Cinfo.html comes up with this file:///info2.html for this page info2.html ( in the /usr/html directory) HTML is: <a href="info2.html> Info 2 </a>

Doug: yes, that's exactly what comment 0 said... I'm not sure why you repeated it (twice!) also, there is no firefox 1.0, only a preview release.

Environment: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4 All text and images view fine for these: file:///c:/usr/html/info.html file:///c:\usr\html\info.html This almost works properly: file:///c:%5Cusr%5Chtml%5Cinfo.html All the text appears properly, but kansas IMG SRC does not display, html is: <A HREF="http://ecs.csus.edu/~laned/index.html"><IMG SRC="pics/kansas.gif" ALT="Doug's Home Page">return to Doug's home page</A> The ALT text displays instead. So somewhow the %5C messes with the internal path which is used to load certain images. The comment #5 was an attempted correction, clicked too fast. I referred to info2.html instead of info.html.

Works for me. Latest Nightly is opening any html/htm file wherever they may be saved.
