157990 - Mozilla doesn't recognise relative path from the command line

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 120467

(Core Graveyard :: Cmd-line Features, defect)

Description

[Shanmugavelu Shanmuganathan (gone)]

This happens on all versions of Mozilla.
I tried to display a local HTML file by typing the relative path like

mozilla ./index.html 

Mozilla generates an on-screen error, that it can't find "."
However if I type the absolute path then mozilla displays the
file. 
	Looks like mozilla is unable to interpret the relative path.

Comment 1

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

to what should this be relative..? the profile-folder? the install-folder? home?
the folder from where you started mozilla (if done from commandline)?

Comment 2

[Shanmugavelu Shanmuganathan (gone)]

This should be relative from where I start mozilla.

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The problem is that a relative path cannot be usefully differentiated from a URL
with the scheme left off (while an absolute path can).  This has all been
discussed before; this is a duplicate, but I cannot find the original.
