I can't open local html file with Firefox on Redhat 7.4.
When i open the local html file on redhat 7.4, the following error will display.
Access to the file was denied
The file at /root/xxxxxx/start.html is not readable.
It may have been removed, moved, or file permissions may be preventing access.
but if i copy the html file to /usr/share/doc/HTML/en-US/ directory, and open it with firefox. The file will be opened.

Files in /usr/share/ have read permission (but not write permission). Files in /root/ can only be accessed by the root owner and never by other users. So you will have to place the file in a location that permits read access to your user account.
the reason: SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container from 'setattr' accesses on the directory bus.
solution: setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 0
