Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.16-7
Severity: minor
*** Please type your report below this line ***
After /etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js is adjusted according to instructions
in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Security_Policies, a file URI still fails to open
when the link has been obtained from a remote Web server. Of course, there is
no problem using a local link to open a local file. Add-on
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/281 confers the ability to open the file
URI. Iceweasel appears to be ignoring the adjustments in /etc/...iceweasel.js.
At least one other bug involves /etc/iceweasel/pref/iceweasel.js; #425961.
Regards, ... Peter E.
