I think you are splitting hairs. But JFTR, in FF, the setting is:-

security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy

....and by default (setting is true) it will let you load files that are
in the same folder (or sub-directory. If you want to load any local
file, then you have to change the setting to false.

IE is a different story. As mentioned, you have to configure it
(assuming you are allowed to do that) to allow XHR on local files. I
didn't mean to imply that IE disallowed this by default.

And how is any of this news?
