It would be *great* to have autocompletion for file:// URIs with the location bar.

I often have test cases and small web pages that I put on my filesystem and open in Firefox without needing a local server. But I have to remember the whole file path to the file and autocompletion and suggestions (as we do with history / bookmarks) for directories and files on the file system would be incredible.

I think this wouldn't be hard to do in unified complete. I guess you want something like we do with urls, so complete to the next slash?

Yes. Ideally, this would be pretty much the same as bash / most shells.
