I.e. the same message?

It looks like someone has replaced the ".class" of the class file name
with "\class.class". I don't know whether that was FireFox or you, but
presumably it was FireFox. If it _was_ FireFox then by all means submit
a bug report; Mozilla produces new releases rather quickly so you ought
to see a fix soon if the problem is there.
