Details

(Whiteboard: [geckoview:fxr:p3]) 

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.54 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

- Grant READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission
- Load the URI: file:///sdcard/


Actual results:

There are onPageStart and onPageStop callbacks but no web content is loaded.


Expected results:

a) Show a directory listing for the directory (Fennec behavior)
b) Return a ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error
Considered a regression.

I would expect a directory index/listing, if we can. That's what Samsung Internet Browser does as well.
