Modifying the contents of the chrome package like this is likely to be
the wrong solution. Why don't you get the location of the downloaded
image and convert it to the file:// URI dynamically? What problems
will it cause?
Or implement a custom protocol handler, I guess. (I think it could be
useful to have a standard way to reference the profile folder via a
URL with a custom protocol.)
