The URL file:///~/Category2.html cannot be loaded by iceweasel in my

lynx opens the file without grumbling, but then lynx will open just
about anything.
Probably because ~ is not a magical token in the Linux kernel. Firefox
is just trying to open a file "/~/Category2.html", a file in a
directory literally called "~" under root.
Several programs (notably the shell) take "~" to mean the user's home
directly, and convert that to the actual file path before opening it.
