Strange thing is that when starting firefox from console the bug doesn't appears. It appears only when I launch firefox from fluxbox menu. And it's not only bug connected with fluxbox. Another is that sometimes firefox stops writing on the screen, the only way to recover is to change, and change back the workspace.
The name is "/home" so you should enter "file:///home" instead. I see no difference in launching firefox from command line or menus.
file://localhost/home gives the home directory. This is not consistent with how Opera deals with files for example. file://home/ in opera shows /home file://localhost/home in opera shows /home It is somewhat consistent with Konqueror: file://home in konqueror shows an error file:///home and file://localhost/home in konqueror shows /home
Its file://<absolute patch to document> .. ie: file:///home/user/Documents/somehtmldocument.html
