i have to say, i tried that on Ubuntu here, but since the Iliad probably runs a Firefox 2.0 Alpha (if i compared the User agent correct) i thought it could react similar.

if you try the URLs, Firefox will open a "Save file to"-dialogue, but you have no option to choose to execute the file. I shouldn't even thought about that, for it is pretty obvious, that executing local applications from a browser would be a to great security risk.
