User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0 Iceweasel/38.0a2 Build ID: 20150227004023 Steps to reproduce: Wanted to browser the directory of a local file I was browsing. Actual results: Had to manipulate the URI by hand. Expected results: When browsing local files there is no way offered to get to the current directory unless one manually edits the URI. Once there one can traverse the entire file system, but not beforehand.

On e.g., $ firefox file:///etc/motd there should be a button added to the Navigation Bar. Pushing that button should take one to file:///etc/ Anyway, on file:///etc/ there are links to file:///etc/motd but then no link back, other than the BACK button.
There are many "Go up" type addons.
