I am working offline creating a 'site' that is an album of photographs. This
will be distributed on CD.
For each file the html is trivial and basic. There are 15 to 25 photographs in
each of the smaller files, totalling about 3 Mb. Larger files have over 100
pictures, over 20 Mb.
Each file is in its own window. They interlink.
They all use an external css file in the parent window called by @import
url(../s.css)
Much testing with IE shows no problem.
Using Mozilla after three links forward the css fails. The route is immaterial,
simply any four files in succession.
On the failure, view source shows the forward slash in the css call as a
backslash ! It is a forward slash in the file.
I have made some small demonstration files which do not fail. I hope I can put
something on a website that shows the problem before Monday.

So if we ignore bryan's rambling....  Alan, any chance you could zip up the
files involved and attach them to this bug using
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=180398&action=enter ?  It would
be nice to be able reproduce the problem so it can be debugged.

I will post files before Monday. I am not into zipping, it will be quicker to
set the machine going and do something else while it grinds away. I assume you
all have broadband. Regards Alan

We were hoping the files involved would be, say, a few kilobytes at most.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The reason for zipping (or tarring, or whatever) is to preserve filenames and
relative paths... since you apparently have multiple files in various places in
the directory hierarchy.  ;)

I have to be very very sorry. I found a backslash was in the file. No bug.
