Iceweasel 3.5.16 is working in Squeeze here. Using the menue, File > Open File, it opens /home/peter/blah.html. The URI displayed is "file:///home/peter/blah.html". Alternatively, the file can be opened by typing or pasting that URI into the window.
There is a third possibility. Suppose there is a Web page containing a link anchored at either http://localhost/home/peter/blah.html or http:///home/peter/blah.html. Seems reasonable and straightforward for this method of opening a local file to work as well. Does anyone have a helpful pertinent idea before a wish report is submitted? Thanks, ...
