I don't know for sure, but I guess that local files are read with completely different code and in particular these files may not be cached.

I suspect the steps I've performed These file links work great but they can fail unless everything is just right. In your temp directory find the file install.rdf. Check that the file in your profile directory exactly matches the name in the install.rdf. Then check that the path you put in the file exactly matches the path to the install.rdf minus the characters "install.rdf". Use about:config to set "extensions.logging.enabled" true.
