Details

When calling the XPInstall constructor nsInstallFolder with the value of file:/// for the aFolderID parameter, the call to dirCheck should be generating an error to be picked up by dirCheck.Error. This doesn't happen since the Canonify method in nsFileSpec is not behaving correctly.
Setting 23289 dependent on this bug. Actually it's the file:/// aspect of 23289 that depends on this bug. The trailing / part of 23289 doesn't really depend on this bug. (I think)
Blocks: 23289
Summary: Canonify doesn't work correctly → old nsfilespec - Canonify doesn't work correctly
nsFileSpec is not supported. use nsIFile. (I wonder if anyone will believe me)
Target Milestone: M15
so is this the same bug that you can't view contents of local file directories such as file:///C|/WINDOWS/DESKTOP/ on windows or file:/// on Linux?
