Details

So I ended up with a file:// link on my Top Sites on my New Tab page. I had book marked this url a long time ago, so I assume that's how it ended up in the Top Sites list. When I click on the link, nothing happens. I would expect that the browser would navigate to that page. The following error shows in the Browser Console: Security Error: Content at about:newtab may not load or link to file:///usr/share/doc/python/html/index.html.
I forgot to mention: this is on Version 57.0b9.
