A javascript sent by we site can, if written to do so, open your files and upload them to some remote site; and you call this hysterics? Something is wrong with your thinking to resort to name calling. I think user's awareness, that javascripts are indeed invasive and a great threat to privacy, needs to be raised. Most users are unaware of this threat.
Have googled to see whether it's possible to use javascript as you claim it's being used?!
As has been suggested previously, the link on your router's linking to display your local files through "file:///..." and there's nothing nefarious or magical about that. Nothing's being uploaded, downloaded, modified, deleted, etc; you're just browsing your local filesystem through Firefox/Chromium/Epiphany/Konqueror/...
