This is a recent problem. Added CSS3Draft and HTML 4.01 Transitional, from the original CSS2.1 and HTML 1.0 Transitional. Since then, can still view my Expression Web 4 website in IE9, but Firefox no longer will view site. Instead I get the error mentioned above. Expression Forum site, and CoffeeCup forum site both say this is problem with Firefox, that others have also been having. They say, Firefox can't see the site on my drive, since the address is not same as it would be if site was up on a server. Can you help?

That you happen if you try to open a link to a local file on the computer with c:\xxx or c:/xxx
Such links should be opened with the file: protocol: file:///c:/
