118416 - Mozilla has problems when evoked from command line for local file

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112080

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Thorson Little]

Repro:
1) Make sure that no mozilla windows are open
2) evoke mozilla to open a local file, such as:
   $ mozilla localfile.html


Expected Results:
the file gets opened and the reported URL is something like:
file:///home/me/localfile.html


Actual Results:
a error box opens saying:
localfile.html cannot be found. Please check the name and try again. 

the location bar gives the URL:
localfile.html

and the browser shows a blank page


Notes:
1) If the browser is already operating the actual results are the expected
results (normal behavior)
2) messing with relative paths does not help, for example:
   $ mozilla ./localfile.html

does nothing but:
     $ mozilla ~/localfile.html
works fine
