You must have missed my previous message:
This is a known Firefox bug, see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52282
This bug has nothing to do with Emacs; opening
file:///foo/bar.html.gz in the Firefox address bar fails to
uncompress, whereas http://foo/bar.html.gz uncompress properly. I
don't think there's anything we can do in Emacs to work around this.
The Mozilla folks are still discussing how to fix it on their end.

I don't think this is an Emacs bug, precisely, since Emacs shouldn't be
uncompressing that file. But is it a bug that
(browse-url-file-url "/foo.bar")
gives "file:/foo.bar" and not "file:///foo.bar"?
It seems to me that the last element of `browse-url-filename-alist' should
just be
("^/+" . "file:///")
If I'm not mistaken and this is wrong, perhaps it's confusing the browser?

I have posted some complaints about browse-url-filename-alist
previously. Please take a look here:

Both are equally valid URLs for a local file.

Thanks for that info. That clears my confusion a bit. But where is this
info? I did a search at w3c.org but did not find it.

People used to discuss this regularly in the early days of web browsers,
when bugs in browser implementations meant you needed to be familiar
with all the possibilities (some browsers used to use ftp if there were
two or more slashes after file:).
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/comp.infosystems.www.providers/browse_thread/thread/d6642ca04fc461c4/dcbe395dc34c2c92?lnk=st&q=file+url+local&rnum=23&hl=en#dcbe395dc34c2c92
However, I just reviewed the relevant RFCs, and there is no mention of
a server-less version of the file: URL scheme, so file:/// does appear
be more correct than file:/, at least in theory.

Page 21 of RFC 3986 states that
For example, the "file" URI
scheme is defined so that no authority, an empty host, and
"localhost" all mean the end-user's machine, ...
"No authority" means that the "//host" part of the URI is omitted
entirely, whereas "an empty host" means that the "//" has no text between
it and the following "/" that begins the path (which, with an authority
present, even if it's an empty host, must begin with a slash). So
file:/// and file:/ and file://localhost/ all mean exactly the same thing,
whether or not they are followed by anything (which must be an absolute
file name without its leading /). My apologies for reporting the "bug"
that did not in fact exist, but perhaps file:/// should be used anyway if
it's more compatible?
