BuildID:    latest/ 22 march

I tackled a situtaion where it is impossible to view an html file with mozilla. 
Mainly it happens when after typing file:///and the disk id letter a window 
opens with history lists of files viewd before. I try select one out of the 
list and hit Enter, but the file is not displayed.
I would like to emphasize that algthough I chose the category "sometimes" for 
reproducibility it happens about 8 times out of 10.
It never happens with Internet Explorer


a

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.save the 3 html attached files on your disk
2.execute mozilla
3.on Address box type:
  file:///File's properties
  (for example file:///c:/my documents/filename1.html)
4.hit enter to view the file.
5.select and delete the file's properties
6.repeat steps 3-5 twice, each time with a new file
7.type the disk-drive id letter and a semicolon
8.from the history window select another file (using mouse)
9.hit enter


Actual Results:  When selecting file's properties from history windows mozilla 
does not execute viewing of file. Sometimes it won't view the file even if you 
type its properties (using keyboard).

Expected Results:  File view should be performed as it acts with IE.

I think this is caused by,
"<meta charset="windows-1255">"
