I think Mozilla is just conforming to standards.  The Internet was born on 
*nix, built on *nix, and will continue to grow and and develop further on 
*nix.  Departure from standards comes from MS and IE trying "influence" web 
development with conventions that originate from a single user OS.

"Unarmed" is correct to say that "using relative links is the best 
cross-browser and cross-platform solution".
