[Maf] file:///Disk:/folder browsing bug

Hello,

With the latest version of MAF installed, it is not possible to browse 
his own harddisk, at least on Windows XP sp2 (could not test on another 
platform).

Type file:///C:/ in your addressbar. Then choose a subfolder, for 
example "Program Files". You are now on file:///C:/Program%20Files
Now click on a subfolder of this directory. Instead of looking for 
file:///C:/Program%20Files/XXXX the browser is looking for 
file:///C:/XXXX and give you an error message.
If you add a "/" at the end of the address, obtaining 
file:///C:/Program%20Files/, there is no error, but you will have to do 
this for each folder you visit.

I don't understand what it has to do with MAF, but disabling it removes 
this problem. I was able to reproduce it on both Firefox 1.0PR and 
Mozilla 1.7.3, installing MAF on a new profile is enough to get this bug.

Can someone test this on other platforms than Windows XP sp2 ?

Best Regards,

Xavier
