Ignore that - this should result in a failed load already. I'll
investigate what's going wrong

Title:
  Blank page when access to local URL (file://…) is denied

Bug description:
  Since version 0.23+15.10.20151005-0ubuntu1, webbrowser-app is running under apparmor confinement.
  This means that access to the local filesystem is denied (file://… URLs). There is no user feedback when that happens other than a blank page, which is not really great UX. A user-friendly error message to inform that browsing the local filesystem is restricted would be better.
