Firefox throws an error when opening .html files stored in other partition.
Firefox always gives an error whenever opening .html files stored in a partition different from where the OS is installed stating that "Access to the file was denied" as in the link below.

Try using File > Open File ... to open saved HTML files.
If your Menu Bar, with the "File" menu is hidden, hit the Alt key to show the Menu Bar - then hit F and then hit O.

Didn't work
You may need root permission to access files on that drive.
This can also be a sandbox security issue.
You can set this pref to 2 or 1 on the about:config page to reduce the sandbox security level.
- security.sandbox.content.level = 1
- close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.
If this didn't work then undo/reverse the change and reset the pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Thanks, it worked. Update: It worked for the first time but when I rebooted the same problem occurred again even when the value was 1.

Hi, you may have to give it permission via the OS also.

I exactly don't know how to give it permission via OS. Chrome easily accesses the file by default.
