Clicking a bookmark pointing to file://///test/test.html freezes Firefox 2.0.0.3.
Minefield freezes only for a few seconds. It seems the five consecutive slashes are the culprit, when I leave only two slashes, the problem disappears.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a bookmark pointing to file://///test/test.html
2. Click on the bookmark
Actual Results:  
The browser becomes unresponsive.

Expected Results:  
The browser should show "URL does not exist" error message.
It's because you're trying to access a non-available Windows UNC share.
