Actual Results: An alert message appears; File doesn't open (not found). Expected Results: Open the file. Here the Firefox is configured to open new pages in another tab at the last active window. When he is already opened, rying to open a file on my computer, occurs an error: "Alert: The file /c:Documents and Settings/Windows/Desktop/Academico/Multim%EDdia/Paginas/index.htm cannot be found.

When I remove the accent from the folder called "Multimídia", shown as "Multi%EDdia", the problem doesn't occurs. Another way to avoid this happening is to use the menu: File > Open File...
