Links to file: are blocked by the security manager. File links are only allowed
if the Document with the link itself is also loaded with a file: URL.

-> invalid (by design)

Comment 2

[Josh Birnbaum]

By default, remote web pages (http://) cannot link to local (file://) content. 
You can change the security.checkloaduri pref to turn this check off globally. 
Mozilla 1.8 based development builds allow per-site control, but since you're
using Firefox 1.0 that doesn't apply.

Marking invalid.
