Mozilla 1.3 changes .fileloc format
Authored by: AndyF on Apr 04, '03 11:25:17PM

Mozilla changed from a CFM based app to a Mach-O based app with 1.3 (and became OSX only). Path names changed from classic mac-like path :Disk:Folder:File to the unix-like /User/admin/... or /Volumes/disk/....

The file://<host>/<path> url simply reflects this change -- the path part now uses a unix-like path. The host name appears to be completely ignored, and can be left out -- file:///User/.... works too.
