According to Google searches, it's a well-known problem that had
solutions up to ver 1.5, but I can't see one for the current version.

I'm running a local (internal) website via Apache2 and pages are
loaded as http://....etc  Some contain file://..... etc links and these
don't work.

It seems to be a known problem.  I just wondered if there was a
solution.  Firefox will open such links if typed in, but not from html
pages.
