I went to the Top Sites area's Edit button in the upper right. I pressed the Add button. I typed a title, and I entered the URL "file:///c:/cygwin64/home/ksteiger/.homepage.html" as the URL. Actual results: The newly-created Top Site had a URL of "http://file:///c:/cygwin64/home/ksteiger/.homepage.html". Expected results: The newly-created Top Site should have had a URL of "file:///c:/cygwin64/home/ksteiger/.homepage.html".
