Inserting images into a rich text element using Firefox

Firefox prevents Web sites accessing local files due to security restrictions. This means that you will not be able to view images inserted into a rich text element. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don't_work for information on turning off this security setting.
