Build Identifier: v1.1-v1.4a
An aplication at http://127.0.0.1 produces links to files on the local
filesystem. Left-clicking, midle clicking or "right-click -> open in new
tab/window" does not do anything. "right-click -> copy link location, paste url
into location bar" works. This is tested with 1.1, 1.2.1, 1.3, 1.4a. With 1.1
midle-clicking works.
Everything works fine if one does view-source + cut&paste html into a file and
open the file from a file://... URL
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
See above
Actual Results:
See above
Trying to work-around by using putting a <base href="file://..."> tag did not
work, it seemd like the <base> tag was ignored.

This is a security precaution to prevent web pages from reading files off your
hard drive.... See discussion in bug 84128
