Iceweasel 3.5.16 is working in Squeeze here. Using the menue,
File > Open File, it opens /home/peter/blah.html. The URI
displayed is "file:///home/peter/blah.html". Alternatively,
the file can be opened by typing or pasting that URI into the
window.

There is a third possibility. Suppose there is a Web page containing
a link anchored at either http://localhost/home/peter/blah.html or
http:///home/peter/blah.html. Seems reasonable and straightforward
for this method of opening a local file to work as well. Does
anyone have a helpful pertinent idea before a wish report is submitted?

Thanks, ... Peter E.
