How to I see a HTM page on my local drive?
I have pages of static HTML on my local hard drive that contain my stories which I periodically update and upload to a story hosting site via FTP. I have a page of links like this on my desktop so I can see my pages locally before I FTP them up to the online site. I used to be able to just click on the links to see the pages locally:
<A HREF="file:///c:/my web sites/my stories/index.htm">
For the past week or so, Firefox has been blocking my access to these pages and redirecting me to Google. I edited that page and changed the links to this, which worked for about a week:
<A HREF="file:///c:/my%20web%20Sites/my%20stories/index.htm">
Now Firefox won't let me load my pages at all. What security settings do I need to change to see my web pages on my local drive?
FWIW, Chrome and MSIE let me go to my web pages locally from my page of links. But I love Firefox and would hare to have to switch to Chrome or MSIE.

Any error messages in the Browser/Error Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+J)?
Do the files show if you open them via the location bar or if you drag them in a Firefox tab?
