Opera

We have 'file://///' at the beginning. Opera doesn't converge it
to 'file://', so this has to be done by the code. The following patch fixes
the issue, but maybe we should instead give 'file://///' for the Firefox
only.

The idea was right, file:///// is necessary only for Firefox (and even the
newest version requires it). IE, Opera and Chrome are happy with file://.
BTW none of them allows clicking such a link by default, but copying the
link and pasting it into address line works. Also, IE and Chrome save the
file when right-click on link and choose Save As.
Everything tested on Win7
