Firefox 3.6 can no longer open html files on the local hard drive when double-clicking on them from the Finder if the name of the html file contains a space.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take any html file and name it "index with spaces.html"
2. Double click on it from the Finder
(Ensure Firefox is the default browser beforehand.)
Actual Results:  
Firefox launches, if not running.

Expected Results:  
Firefox launches, if not running.
The HTML document is displayed with a file:// URL.

The identical document will load if the file name is changed to not contain a space.

Verified on two different computers, both running Snow Leopard.

This worked properly in Firefox 3.5.
