Firefox is adding leading slashes to direct file addresses in a web page causing that page to break. How can this be disabled?

When trying to view a web page containing direct links to files (eg. <frame name="left" src="left.cgi" scrolling="auto">) Firefox adds a leading slash to the URL thus causing the frame to break. The file left.cgi exists on the server under the directory that the site is contained in. Is this expected behaviour or is it a bug? If it is expected behaviour is it possible to disable this?

I'm running 46.0.1 on Ubuntu and the site I'm trying to access is Webmin which is being accessed through an apache proxy (server.com/webmin -> server.com:10000)
