How can we block file:/// protocol to prevent any access to local disk drive from the firefox browser?

Hi, we have been waiting for ESR 60 version with GPO support. However still there is no way to block the local disk browsing using file protocol. Thought it might be accomplished through the website URL block policy but that is also limited to http and https only.

Please let us know how can we centrally implement this control using GPO?

Thanks for the response. Kindly if you can also confirm if this specific policy will be available for general firefox release or it will be limited to ESR version only?
