[GRLUG] Firefox on an external drive

I've mounted an external hard drive
on a USB 2 connection.  Works fine,
and I can do all the things one would
expect to go.

Except access it via Firefox.

I enter the URL file:/// and view the
contents of the root directory.  I can
then left click on most entries and see
the contents.

But not the external drive.  So, say the
external drive is /disk2.  If I enter the
URL file:///disk2 in to Firefox I get nothing.
"ls /disk2" from a console window works fine.

Running Kubuntu 9.04.

Suggestions?
