Result in FF1.0
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040618 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040618 If html page from http:// (e.g. http://bbs.cvut.cz/~covex/czilla/REDDRAGON2.html) has img src=url pointing to file:// (e.g. <img src="file:///home/test/temp/REDDRAGON2_soubory/rd_b01.jpg") then the image is not displayed in FF1.0. This works in MAS1.7 however. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: FF displays nothing instead of picture. Expected Results: Picture should be displayed. This behaviour is not happening if page is on local disk. Means if you store exacly same page from above url to local disk and load as file:///home/test/temp/REDDRAGON2.html then also urls with img src=file:// seems to work ok. This seems similar to bug #122022, but is was said to be a dup of #84128, which are different problems. This problem is also mentioned in bug #227546, but this bug is also about different thing.

What you are seeing is the result of bug 69070, and is by design: pages from http: may not link to or load images from file: (which is the message you get in the JS Console). You would see the same result in 1.8a5. In trunk nightlies, you can enable it per-domain, see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html but not apparently on the 1.0 branch. Other than that, your "Expected Result" of loading <img src="file:..."> in a page from http: is a security hole, so INVALID.

Hm.. some pages use this "feature" to speed up the page loading - especialy the game server store lot of graphics localy, then html is pointing to local files. If that is possible to enable by policy, then it'll great. Thanx for prompt response.
