Ned, I agree with you about this point, but there is an advantage when
you use localhost:8000, you only have one entrypoint. And when you
switch between many PR, you just have to execute the make -C Doc/ serve
command (because in my workflow and with the full URI, the path can
change in function of the PR, I use git worktree for each PR).

But yep, I am +1 for firefox build/html/index.html
