Is it possible to make Firefox sort files and folders by ignoring upper/lower case in file:/// ? Like Opera's file:/// sorts files in a human readable way.

I hadn't noticed this before because I use NoScript and scripts are disabled on file:/// URLs. If I enable scripts and reload...

The column headings (Name, Size, Date) are clickable for sorting. On Windows, clicking the "Name" heading sorts like Windows Explorer: folders first, then files, all case insensitive. What happens on Linux?

That should work as the sorting is done via toLowerCase()

See line 382:
