As per comment #0 it seems to be a feature request hence marking it as untriaged and requesting someone from dev team to look into the issue.

Thanks.!

Don't think we want to change this - cookies behavior isn't specified for the file protocol, and it's not clear what the scope of cookies should be (Global would potentially let an app in one directory steal information from another app in another, for instance.  Scoping them at directory breaks things with file hierarchies, etc).
