When we show the external protocol permission dialog for a file URI, we label the site as "file://". This is confusing to the user and doesn't make it clear that the permission is only stored for this specific file.
Perhaps something like "Always allow this local file to open ..." would be better.
We do something similar for the geolocation permission prompt:
