Bug Description

When scanning a bug comment for URIs to linkify, the "file" scheme should be ignored; this leads to novice bug reporters thinking they have uploaded a file (since when they click on it, they see it).

We probably shouldn't link file: links, since most web browsers prevent users from following file: links from an http: or https: page.

However, I don't think it would make a difference to people like the reporter of bug 85022. He wouldn't have seen the file:// linkified while filing the bug report.
