nsDefaultURIFixup should recognise ~/ as referring to the home directory. Since nsLocalFileUnix already expands ~/, the fix is simple; patch coming up.

I just voted for this bug, because I put a local file path into the URL bar just to see Firefox send it to the search engine instead of opening the file.

This is not just a convenience measure, but a serious privacy concern.
