When I try to open a file by double clicking it in Windows Explorer Firefox tells me that:
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at /D:/???.htm.
the name of the file is: "تست.htm"
The URL bar show: "file:///D:/%3F%3F%3F.htm"
but when I correct the path in the URL bar or when I use the Open dialogue it opens the file and shows the correct URL which is:
"file:///D:/%D8%AA%D8%B3%D8%AA.htm"
BTW IE opens it correctly.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a file with non-English name. (in my case Persian)
2. double click the file in Windows Explorer.
Actual Results:
FF won't open the file.
Expected Results:
It should have opened the file.
more info:
1. an English named file in a path that contains a non-English directory also does not open. The URL bar shows this:
"file:///D:/%3F%3F%3F/test.htm"
2. Windows does not allow "?" to be in the name of files and folders.
