Local File Access from a Website
Hey guys,
I'm in a bit of a predicament, I need to be able to have my department members click a local file link on the website and have access to a folder on a shared drive. I talked to customer support for my site, and they sent me a link to follow with instruction on how to accomplish this. However, I'm not confident in my ability in doing the change.
Firefox Workaround link The link states to put this code into the prefs.js document:
Mozilla FireFox: You need add the following into your prefs.js:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks"); user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://the website that has the file link"); user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
After that, it works for links like file:///C:/... file:///Z:/... and file://///host/sharedFile
How would I do that ? What would I alter to fit my needs ? Any help would be amazing!!

I found a very good explanation here. Aternatively, I prefer to keep custom stuff like that in user.js. If you don't have user.js in your Firefox profile directory, just create it using Notepad. Firefox never writes to user.js, you can keep your comments in there (start the comment line with '#') , and it's easy to keep it synchronized between different computers where you use Firefox.
