User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Some url's that are understood by internet explorer to link files on the local file system are not understood by firefox. Examples are 'C:\\bar.html'and '/bar.html'. I think this should be fixed because it causes inconsistent behaviour for people switching from IE to firefox. For example my father has a webpage containing internal links relative to the webroot of the server ( '/' ) and he wants to check whether things work before he uploads it to the server; using IE it works locally as it would online, but using firefox all links are broken and stylesheets aren't found either :( Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create C:\\foo.html containing: <a href='C:\\bar.html'>C:\\bar.html</a> <a href='/bar.html'>/bar.html</a> 2. check in internet explorer, both cases link to C:\\bar.html 3. check in firefox, both cases fail to link C:\\bar.html Same thing goes for the linking of stylesheets etc. Actual Results: After clicking 'C:\\bar.html' a error pops up telling me that 'C' is not a registered protocol; after clicking '/bar.html' nothing happens, which I think is even worse then an error. Expected Results: In both cases the file file://C:/bar.html should have appeared.

Please notice that my report containes 2 cases; the duplicate is only about one of them. Bug 269166 designates the first example as invalid. I won't argue that. But my second example is a bit different and can't be solved with using the 'file:///' syntax, also there are no security issues there. The point is that when displaying a file on the local filesystem, the partition the file is on should be recognised as the ""root"" of the filesystem and identified by '/'. Please read the example in my original bug report.
