Firefox and Chrome both will display a local directory. In fact I exploit that for my no-software written personal wiki, github.com/a3n/miki. I bookmark the directory of the top of my wiki, and drill down into directories to get at my pages, except the pages I've bookmarked. I see no reason why a browser couldn't do that with URLs in local directories. EDIT: Unfortunately I don't think the first part, drag/drop from browser tab to file manager folder, works in Linux. Tried it with nemo, dolphin and nautilus. But viewing and clicking on directories and contents from the browser works fine. EDIT EDIT: Dragging a tab didn't work for me. But dragging the icon from the address bar worked fine. Except in Dolphin, which gave me something weird. nemo and nautilus were good. And the "files" clicked in the file manager opened in the browser. And of course, opening them from the browser directly also works.
