[dojo-contributors] getting Firefox 3 file:/// to work

[Douglas Hays]

This is a FYI for people who run tests using file:/// on Firefox.

I was having a problem running the dijit unit tests using a file:/// URL
after installing the latest Firefox 3 beta 2.  It seems that the new
Firefox
is not going to allow local files to easily access other files in parent
directories.  I was able to get around this by setting a preference:

security.fileuri.origin_policy = 3
0=only this file is OK, 1=same dir is OK, 2=child dir is OK, 3=any file is
OK

The default was 2. It might be a security issue but I needed it to work
until I figure out a
better solution.  If anyone knows of a better way, then I'd appreciate the
info.
