Description
The html files cannot be easily tested in a browser locally.
The website is broken when using the file:// protocol; it works when using http://,
so the workaround is to run a webserver locally.
Firefox (87.0) logs:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at file:///.../electrum-web/panel-download.html. (Reason: CORS request not http).

Research direction
Reproduce the problem by opening the HTML files locally in Firefox with the file:// protocol, then compare that behavior with the working http:// setup. Inspect references involving panel-download.html and projects.json and use the reported Same-origin policy error as the starting point. Done means the website can be tested locally without the reported file-URI failure.
