Details

Testing with a current CVS build, Linux:

I have a little webpage called My_Mozilla_FAQ.html and i upload it via ftp to a
website now and then. This is part of that page usually:

<base href="My_Mozilla_FAQ.html"></head>

When i now save the page in composer, that line is modified into this:

<base href="file:///home/dark2/RECOVER/dark/pix/My_Mozilla_FAQ.html"></head>

Which you might guess is where the file is stored on my local disk.
Links and images elsewhere on the page are left as is - they are not broken with
filepaths anymore, like they were in bug 121980.

I can't see any good reason why Composer should tell "the world" about my PC's
internal file structures. So I think the full local file-path in the "base href"
is a bug.
Is this also due to nsWebBrowserPersist problems?  Cc'ing others.
absolutely!

yes...that would be a dup, wouldn't it.

Is this really a duplicate?

Using build 2002021423, I am seeing Mozilla *inserting* <base href="file://..">,
though it wasn't there originally.

There are two problems: 

* That this is a local href (which is perhaps a duplicate of 122227
* That it appears *at all*.

I cannot get rid of it even by removing it manually from the HTML. As soon
as I save, it reappears.

And my build does not make other relative links absolute, so how can it
be a duplicate?

Please consider reopening this bug, as it can not be verified to be a duplicate.
The complaint in this bug is that the base href is being absolutized.  So, yes,
this is a duplicate of the bug indicated.

The problem in comment 4 is a duplicate of bug 125070.
Creating a new file it adds base href=about:blank.  I'm hoping that's the same
issue.
