In addition, when typing something like: "file://" + [anything not starting with "/"] + "/some_existing_dir" the user ends up in /some_existing_dir; so with "file://foobar/etc", firefox shows you index of /etc but claims that it is the "Index of file://foobar/etc" (which doesn't exist).
When using a full path though (starting the middle part with "/", like in "file:///foobar/etc"), an error is shown as one would expect all along. Also, when typing "file://" by itself (so without actually specifying any file or directory at all), firefox redirects to "file:///" (note the third /) and shows a file listing of the root dir. -- file://foo always goes to the root dir https://launchpad.net/bugs/78593 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
