After reading http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security_Policies
add these four lines to dalton:/etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js .

// Allow my file URI to be opened.
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", 
"http://[email protected]:80";);

> Soft links'll work fine.

OK, dalton:/Category2.html is now a soft link to /home/peter/Category2.html.

At dalton open
  http://members.shaw.ca/peasthope/#Links
and click on the link file:///Category2.html .

This message comes to the Iceweasel error console.
Security Error: Content at http://members.shaw.ca/peasthope/#Links may not load 
or link to file:///Category2.html.

Appears that the instructions for the Mozilla security policies are for the 
case 
where both the file URI link comes from the same machine as the browser runs on.

Any better ideas to configure for my case where the file URI link is in 
members.shaw.ca/peasthope and the browser is on dalton?

Thanks,                ... Peter E.
