FILE url in Instiki -- Firefox problem?

    Hello,

New Instiki user here, I'm running Instiki locally on my machine to manage and track progress on projects.  Two questions:

1)  I'm not having any success referencing local files in Instiki on FireFox, such as:

!file:///C:/LogoAV.jpg!

I notice that this loads just fine if I use internet explorer to access Instiki.  If I use Firefox to access Instiki, it does not display the image. If I load 
file:///C:/LogoAV.jpg (no !'s) in the location bar in Firefox, it displays the image just fine...  So Firefox is able to find the file just fine. ; Do you guys have any ideas why Firefox/Instiki aren't playing nicely together?  (Using WinXP, FF 
2.0.0.1)

2) Can I reference PDFs, Word Documents, File Folders, and other files (besides images)?  I haven't been able to find any good support for this (if the capability exists) on the web.


Thank you so much for your time,

-Holden

    That is awesome, thank you so much for helping!  The local image loaded just fine.

Do you have any idea about other filetypes?  Maybe I can use the HTML since Textile doesn't seem to have an allowance for them?


I thought of a third question.  Sometimes I type something (say a company name or filename) which happens to be multiple words together, and Instiki thinks it should make its own page for every one of these.  Is there a way to tell it that I don't want it to make a page (
i.e. don't want it to put a question mark by it when rendered)?
