Load an html file in tails browser while offline?

Using tails 2.1, I am trying to open an html file in a browser from persistent storage / or usb drive.

  • If I try to open in Tor browser (default), it is not loaded at all. (I tried disabling all add-ons, experimented with admin, etc). Strangely, I can load some html files, but only those in a specific folder like: file:///usr/share/doc/tails/website/

  • I tried the Unsafe Browser, but the app will not open at all, instead it gives me this error:

No DNS server was obtained through DHCP or manually configured in NetworkManager

I have disabled all networking as I am using this as an air-gapped system.

Clearly I am missing something here.
