The URL file:///~/Category2.html cannot be loaded by iceweasel in my case (iceweasel 4 on squeeze). I only see the message "File not found ... Iceweasel can't find the file at /~/Category2.html." Interestingly, lynx opens the file without grumbling, but then lynx will open just about anything. There is the separate issue of iceweasel opening file:// links from http:// documents. That is disabled by default for security reasons, but can be enabled by toggling the value of the "security.checkloaduri" configuration preference. Go to the special URL "about:config" to change it if you wish. -- Liam O'Toole Cork, Ireland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
