If i enter a file link such: file://///MYSERVER/Files/ in the Address-Bar of 
the browser, it works. 
But if i use this link in a html file in the <a> tag the link doesnt work in 
Mozilla/Netscape7, in every other browser (IE, Opera, Netscape 4.7) it works 
perfectly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a file URL in the Adress-Bar (This works fine)
2. Make a html file with a <a href="file://///MYSERVER/Files">TestLink</a>
3. Open this file in Mozilla and click the Link

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens ;-)

Expected Results:  
Show a tree or show the download box (if its a file) like i enter the link in 
the Adress-bar
Invalid. Mozilla doesn't load any file:// URLS from a HTTP:// url. You can see a
security warning in taks/tools/Javascript Console

See bug 84128 and bug 122022.
