User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Steps to reproduce:
On Linux, open the URI "/dev/full". Firefox translates it to "file:///dev/full".
Actual results:
This highly slows down the computer and display a download modal that asks for cancelling or downloading the file.
If we (luckily, before pc crashing) close this modal, a lot of (hundreds maybe) warning modals appear.
Expected results:
I think an error should appear for trying to download internal system files.
