267178 - local images do not load any longer [ file:/E:/directory/pic.gif ]

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Christoph Pojer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041027 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041027 Firefox/1.0RC1

I loaded the release candidate two days ago and there is a bug, which didn't
exist in an older version of firefox: The best example is a Browsergame (thats
why i postet no url) with a graphic pack (A dir with graphics in, you save it
local). I looked to my browsergames and the graphics didnt load, I checked the
location in my harddisk/partition. In Firefox 0.10.1 (1.0 Preview) all worked
fine with the same locations and settings

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Register in a Browsergame
2. Load the Graphic Pack and link it from your local drive -> e.g.:
file:/C/Graphics/Browsergame/
3. Look at the Browsergame when you reload, no graphics :<

Actual Results:  
there are no graphics. There is no replace for a "broken graphic" - there is
just nothing.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should show the graphic :D

I guess it is caused by the fixes to Bug 69070. Mozilla doesn't load any file://
URLs from a remote HTTP:// URL. You can see a security warning in your
Javascript Console. See Bug 84128. Duplicate?

Workaround: Set with about:config the pref security.checkloaduri to false.

I'm sorry that I forgot to refer to the security problems. This setting is NOT
recommended and you should aware of the security risks. See the release notes at
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.7/known-issues.html#psm for details
about this pref.

Please resolve this bug as duplicate of bug 84128 if you agree.

Better ways as comment 3 is to use it only for a particular site, see Bug 233108.

This is not allowed to Bug 69070 for security reasons, see bug 268778 comment 3.
