How to open a local file with a bookmarklet?
I have offline documentation, which I search with grep, but when I use search engines, I often land on online documentation. I prefer to bookmark the offline equivalent, so I wrote a bookmarklet which swaps the location.
javascript:void(location.href=location.href.replace('https://...', 'file:///...'))
When I click it I get a funny error: "access to file from script denied"
I found an SO page that says that javascript is not allowed to access the file system. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14052473/go-to-local-url-with-javascript
Fine, but the script is not accessing the file system. It is redirecting. The script itself should have terminated before the page loads. So is this a bug? How do I work around it?

There have been a number of security changes that affect what is allowed to run in the URL bar in the last 3 years.
I have over 200 Bookmarklets that I have collected over the years, In the last few years I have "lost" a few of them due to security changes in Firefox. Didn't use them often enough to "miss" those that got broken and I'm not a developer so I just deleted them from my bookmarks as I found that they didn't work any longer .
