Yes. And that page contains the following instructions for disabling a
preference in Firefox.
"Type about :config <http://kb.mozillazine.org/about :config> into the
Location bar and hit Enter. Find the entry for *security.checkloaduri*
and change its value to *false* by double-clicking it. Then, restart
your browser."
This is a possible security risk, though, so another solution is to add
an alias to apache config file.
In httpd.conf, I have added:
Alias /cdrive/ "c:/"
Then, in Php scripts, when I want to access a local file I use:
http://localhost/cdrive/............
or
/cdrive/......
