You can load a local file into Firefox if it's a type of content that Firefox handles, such as .txt, .html, or .pdf.
Otherwise, Firefox will either want to hand it off to another application or save it.
What do you want Firefox to do with files that it can't read, like Excel files -- open them through a website?
