Firefox has stopped showing html pages on my other partitions.

In the past few days Firefox has stopped showing html pages on my other partitions. Has Firefox changed the way they are doing things or is this a new bug?

The screenshot below shows a web page I regularly use that I keep snippets and brief programming notes. It and all links on all partitions except the root drive are no-longer accessible.

I have used Firefox for over 10 years and never had this happen.

Any ideas what may have happened?

From your screenshot it seems you tried to open a folder rather than a file. I am opening .html files on my /data partition without any difficulty using Firefox 100.

Thank you for your response...

FYI - you do not have to point to a file, pointing to a sub-directory should work too. At any rate, neither work :(

The links I am attempting to open have been working for years. There are no permission problems and Konqueror is able to open them.

If I try to open a folder, it opens in the file picker and the next step is to select a file.
