Re: viewing local htm files on Android device

 I've created a simple (just text, no script) .htm file on a Windows computer ("testhtm.htm") and transferred it to my Android tablet.
 In My Files - Downloads it then appears as "testhtm.htm". Tapping it and it opens with Chrome (my default browser) as "content:media/external/file/1000000383".
 Long tap and select "Add to Home Screen" and an icon appears on the home screen titled "testhtm". And when tapping this it opens in Chrome.
 If I now restart (reboot) the tablet and try to open the file by tapping its icon on the home page it doesn't open and I receive the message: "Chrome does not have access to the requested resource."
 If I then go to My Files - Downloads I find I can open it from there. And if I then go back to the home page it will now open from there as well.
 Why is this?

I seem to recall old bug aka feature that file:/// would not work in Android. Re firefox, probably.
