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
- Where will be the issue of local links fixed? / issues/1066709
The prefs ' ability ' breakup is bug 995943.
Bobby Holley is working on an extension of this bug which could solve the problem.

Is there a way to make firefox to open hypertext links to local files?
My company has a system of custom Office and of course its developed for IE, but none of the engineers like IE. We all use and wish to continue using Firefox. The sections in the ticket system a a place for links to local files on a shared drive. I created the link and point to a word document. This hyperlink works fine in IE but it does nothing when you click in Firefox.
Of course the dev team gives me the line of old age '.NET play well with Firefox... developed for IE... blah blah use IE.»
Probably link to a local file as excel or word or even a directory is a simple idea and needs to be done somehow with FireFox right? Can someone help with that and give a suggestion how to make this work?
For example:
N:\KNOWLEDGE BASE\Cisco price List\2012\pricelistaugust2012.xlsx
I'm trying to share with a hyperlink as:Looking for suggestions on how to make this work. Thank you very much!!
I think there are two aspects to this:
(1) URL format
If you access this file using the dialog box of the browser open the file (Ctrl + O), you can get the format of practical link for it. For example, the separators will be oblique instead of backslashes.
(2) local file security
Firefox limits access to pages on web servers, to pages on the local drive or UNC paths. This article has more information: links to local pages don't work - MozillaZine Knowledge Base. This extension provide a workaround: LocalLink (I have not tried myself).

Setting url of Mucow can link to local files?
I'm doing a widget with the jquery code. I need to be able to link the images and the js file in a local directory, is this possible to do with Mucow?
Hello
Mucow allows you to use the "absolute/relative" url parameter, but by "local directory" If you want to say something about your computer as 'C:/user '.... ", it will not work in mucow. You can check the setting of url here

original title: internet connectivity
My computer is no longer able to connect to the ' net. This ab took place two months ago. I still get updates from MS and Adobe, but will not connect to any Web site. I've tried wired and wireless. All my other computers are connected again and the router and the modem seems to work properly. This occurred after a windows update has been installed automatically while I was away and there was no restore points. Other connectivity issues, the system works properly and I am connected to my local network, not just the internet.

The location of the link is no longer present in the links Panel
I used to be able to move my mouse over the name of the file in the links Panel and a little pop up would come with the location of the image. It seems that it works, which is frustrating, because it would give me a description longer where was the link. Which shows the link information in the Panel is too few characters to really find in my server. Any ideas why it does not work? I have CC Indesign on Mac 10.10.4 2015.
It works for me with the same configuration.

Is no longer able to navigate using the Remote app
I'm suddenly is no longer able to navigate (left, right, up, down) on the Apple TV using the remote app. I also tried with the new application. I'm t able to select the current item and return to the previous menu using button "Menu".
given that it could also have been a problem with the display of my mother's phone, I scroll on different applications etc and it works fine. So it seems that it is an application (or Apple TV) problem.
any ideas? I use an Apple TV, I bought 3 years ago.
Thank you!
Make sure that the software on your TV is up-to-date. Perform a restart of settings or by unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds. Alternatively, you can perform a reset of settings.

So suddenly, I wanted to start my 3 month old laptop, but found that it was getting a system service exception.
After hours of troubleshooting, I decided to go with a clean installed, this has completely fine until I installed the updates of windows (I have to install these updates to return Windows 8.1)
After you install all the following updates occurs after a reboot:
-Default configuration of the windows updates, roll back later, I get a system service exception.
- Or directly a system service exception.
These problems are solveable by a system restore to a point that has no updates.
The next thing I could try is install the updates of windows 1 by 1 to see the update is causing this particular problem.
If anyone has a way to solve this problem please help.
The following link is a dxdiag to my machine:
