Let me see... yes. It is a bug. While in one case xffm specified the
path as absolute (correct) in the other case the path is specified as
relative(incorrect) and therefore firefox is adding the "www."

This bug is now fixed in CVS.

Drag and drop by holding down SHIFT-CTRL does the symlink. A button to
symlink the pasteboard contents has been suggested in the past, but is
not yet available.
