A little more info after some more hair-tearing, but no solution yet.
This line of JavaScript works, the directory for drive C is loaded:
dirTree.setAttribute("ref", "file:///C|/");
This doesn't:
dirTree.setAttribute("ref", "NC:FilesRoot");
Although I think the internal rdf is retrieved -- I can hear some disk
grinding and if I pop the diskette from the A drive I get prompted to put it
back. (This does work in Netscape 7.1)

Thanks, Santiago, for the tip. Unfortunately it didn't fix my problem. I'm
suspicious that there may have been some recent Firefox modifications made
in the name of security which won't allow access to the local drives. Or
maybe I'm just paranoid.

I had the same problem with mozilla 1.7.3. You need to initialize the
"ref" attribute to something different than the empty string ("") in the
tree element. I use "about:null" :P. Otherwise you can't set it
dynamically from javascript.
The problem is extremely obscure, but its there, and its repeatable.
