Thanks Mike.  Subsequent to filing this bug report I found that LocakLink 0.5 
allowed the file URIs to work.  Since then I've updated this Squeeze system, 
although Iceweasel remains at 3.5.16-7.  Today I find that the file URIs 
no longer work in spite of LocalLink remaining present.  Changing "user_pref" 
to "pref" in iceweasel.js yields no difference.  

The system certainly has a few idiosyncrasies.  For example, Monitor Settings 
are not retained across logins.

For now I'm stumped.  If you have a suggestion, I'll try to follow it.

Thanks,                 ... Peter E.
