Capability of Iceweasel to open a local file.

[peasthope@shaw.ca]

Iceweasel 3.5.16 is working in Squeeze here.  Using the menue, 
File > Open File, it opens /home/peter/blah.html.  The URI 
displayed is "file:///home/peter/blah.html".  Alternatively, 
the file can be opened by typing or pasting that URI into the 
window.

There is a third possibility.  Suppose there is a Web page containing 
a link anchored at either http://localhost/home/peter/blah.html or 
http:///home/peter/blah.html.  Seems reasonable and straightforward 
for this method of opening a local file to work as well.  Does 
anyone have a helpful pertinent idea before a wish report is submitted?

Thanks,             ... Peter E.
