Firefox doesn't recognize file://~?
When I type / in the address bar Firefox immediately realizes that it's a local path and suggests file:///. But neither ~ nor file://~ points to my home directory. I hope Firefox will recognize ~ and save me from typing /home/my_username in the address bar myself.

Hi, Firefox is actually governed by standards here, and they explicitly call out that `~` expansion isn't supported in file:// URIs:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8089#appendix-D.1
Unfortunately, I doubt there is much that can be done about that - it isn't a common feature across all operating systems, which is probably why the RFC has specified it in that manner.

A possible workaround is to use a keyword (fh) bookmark that adds the file path.
- file:////home/my_username/%s
