This was not a qx problem, but a browser permission problem.
For security purposes, Firefox and Mozilla Suite block links to local
files (and directories) from remote files. This includes linking to
files on your hard drive, on mapped network drives, and accessible via
UNC paths. This prevents a number of unpleasant possibilities,
including:
* Allowing sites to detect your operating system by checking
default installation paths
* Allowing sites to exploit system vulnerabilities (e.g.,
C:\con\con in Windows 95/98)
* Allowing sites to detect browser preferences or read sensitive
data

So I've created the user.js file as recommended in the article to get
FF2 working and can confirm it works.
However, this is obviously buggy behaviour because in a deployed
situation the directory/file would not exist.
I'll post a QC entry with codegear tomorrow.
