If you create a webpage with a link to a href with a 'file://' link then Mozilla
will fail to follow that link when clicked.

<a href="file:///Volumes/DTU.DATA/Groups/Unit/WebSite/WWW/index.html">click here</a>

will fail to load the html file 

'Volumes/DTU.DATA/Groups/Unit/WebSite/WWW/index.html'

All other browsers work with the same html.

2. Load the file in mozilla
3. Click the link
4. Nothing happens.

Actual Results:
