Is no longer able to follow links to local files.

In previous versions of firefox (28 and earlier) I was able to follow the links of local file with white list in the preferences of the user of the file as described here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work

This feature has stopped working with the update.

Update of information added by a moderator of the forum

I Note

In order to meet the demands of the business users, the localfilelinks policy has been restored with Firefox 30. This allows users to follow links on a webpage (http:// or https://) local filesystem (file:///) especially on the company's internal applications. For now, Firefox Beta or the extension of fileuri caps created by a developer of Mozilla can be used to get around this restriction.

mentions caps-fileuri extension, but this seems to have been deleted. Is no longer in https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/caps-fileuri/ (original can be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=8415447 )

Also note that a question perhaps is currently open

The prefs ' ability ' breakup is bug 995943.

Bobby Holley is working on an extension of this bug which could solve the problem.
