If I understand correctly, then the solution is to add a windows junction 
in your FF downloads directory to wherever the files live. Then you have to 
use the correct path in your browser so that the browser doesn't know 
you've broken out of it's sandbox.

So, for instance, if your FF directory was:

*c:\temp\FFfiles*

and your tw files actually lived in

*c:\data\tw5*


then you would open a command shell and go into c:\temp\FFfiles and perhaps 
type:

*mklink /J tw5 c:\data\tw5*

Then to access empty.html, in your browser you would navigate to:


*file:///c:/temp/FFfiles/tw5/empty.html*

It may take 2 saves the first time you access this way (apparently the 
browser sees each full path as a new event, even if 2 paths lead to the 
same file).

Be sure to make backups, in case I have something wrong here.

Good luck!

Mark
