Selenium wants a "valid" base URL to start at; its validity check appears to be "starts with http or https". A file:// URL is not valid. Is there some clever way to specify a file on computer as a path starting with http?
On further inspection, that lazy validity check is only on initial setup dialog. Once I've created a test I can go back and edit the starting URL to file:// and that works fine.
