Oops. An error in my question. Should have been this. Suppose there is a Web page containing a link anchored at either file://localhost/home/peter/blah.html or file:///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? > I prefer to get an error but it should not be very difficult to implement > a kind of "protocol manager" extension to instruct Firefox/Iceweasel to > try with another protocol when "http://"; returns "host not found". Sorry, my use of "http" rather than "file" was absolutely misleading. I have no interest in automatic switching of protocols. Regards, ...
