Bug Description

It seems that the Chromium web browser Version 51.0.2704.79 Ubuntu 16.04 sets the JavaScript variable document.lastModified to the current date and time if the document is browsed with the file protocol, e.g. file:///media/OS/Users....

Firefox shows 2016-07-18 17:36:12 for my document whereas Chromium for the same document now shows 2016-07-18 17:46:36, a time that changes every time the page is loaded.

Exactly the same JavaScript function works perfectly well for Chromium when provided by HTTP, see http://www.osttimorkommitten.se/.
