Details

I noticed that the OSX convention for file paths is not used in favor of the OS9 convention 
for file paths.  For example, the root directory is "/" in OSX while in OS9 is "Mac OS HD:" 
(or other equivalent drive name).

I wonder if it has been left in intentionally, as many other programs for OSX follow the 
OSX convention.

Duplicate of bug 140606?
Summary: OS9 conventions used in OSX in address bar → OS 9 conventions used in OS X in address bar
bug 140606 seems to be about the special case of this bug
(file://localhost/foo), whereas this one would be about file://foo/

If I'm reading it correctly, bug 140606 would depend on this one, basically just
looking for /localhost and knowing to ignore it.

Bug 140606 started out as just the localhost question but has evolved to
encompass all OS X local URL issues. Take a look at some of its other dupes.
