how to disable security block on intranet file:///// urls?
I have the latest version of firefox esr and im trying to remove the security blocks which stop it from opening file:///// urls on our intranet website.
Can anyone tell me how I can disable the feature and get it to open the urls with the relevant program (a folder share windows explorer, and any other document to use the windows default program list).

Hello, Please check if the links below help you in configuring opening of file:// URIs. Please do note that FF does support file:// URIs out of the box, provided the format is set properly
Hope this helps.
Sorry but the file:// or should i say file://///servername/foldershare/
I am talking about an intranet website where the files are not saved on client computers but on a central file server.
I suspect there is not a solution using the File protocol. This article is in fact linked to from the links in the last post and mentions workarounds.
As per this Wiki link File URI Scheme the scheme for intranet would be file://hostname/path/to/the%20file.txt. Can you please try that. The same wiki page has the user.js entries to check this.
Hope this helps
