When I browse to file://dirname/, the dirname directory it displayed as it should be. However, file:/// (the root directory on Linux) does not display at all- files or directories. This is not a read permission issue, since basically everything in root is world-readable. Latest nightly build (2000040409) but also present for at least the past several days.
Changing component to Networking. Please don't file bugs on 'other' component.

Odd. In an earlier, FIXED bug, bug 6936, "NECKO: Can not view directories using file:// URLs", the root directory was the only one that could be viewed. Tested with 2000-04-03-15 and 2000-04-05-08 on customized Slackware 4.0 using fmvw2, displaying the root directory works fine.
Tested with NS 6.0b1 and also got the same problem on three fully up-to-date Debian Woody installs, kernel 2.2.14. However I just got a friend to test on RedHat 6.2, and it works for him. Must be debian specific. I'll leave it up to someone else to close it or not.
liv@duke.edu - are you still seeing this problem with recent builds of Mozilla? We don't want to close it if you can, even if it is Debian-specific. Gerv
'file:///' displays fine for me, using today's Debian woody and the May 18 Mozilla Linux Build. Either it's not Debian specific, or it has been fixed.
Resolving WORKSFORME. Cheers, Neil :-) Gerv
