Problem Enabling Local File Cookies In FireFox

When run from local files, my javascript code sets cookies properly and they are visible under the Firefox options. Unfortunately, document.cookie returns an empty string as if cookies are not enabled. The Firefox 'Exceptions - Cookies' menu buttons are not enabled unless a host name is provided so I can't force enable cookies for the local file.

The javascript works from local files in IE and from remote files in both IE and Firefox. Does anyone know how to get around the problem?

I tracked the problem down to the handling of directories with blanks in them. Firefox works fine in a directory whose name has no embedded blanks but finds no cookies in a directory that has no embedded blanks.
