There could potentially be an issue with long filenames and limitied space in the browser window.

Comment on attachment 394551 [details] [diff] [review] Patch I'd probably use an "instanceof Ci.nsIFileURL" check rather than schemeIs. It seems like we should somehow make the user aware that the local file can send the location wherever it wants - they might have the expectation that "a local file wants to know" implies that their location will be kept locally, and that isn't necessarily the case.

Looks like this patch was forgotten somehow. It probably still applies cleanly, if someone wants to refresh it to apply to mozilla-central.
