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).

  • Is there a way to disable Firefox from telling me that Adobe Flash Player is out of date?

    We run a program that does not allow students to update programs or make other changes. The problem is that Firefox thinks that it NEED to update Flash Player whenever there is a new version. It is simply not feasible with as many computers as we support. 99% of the time, the update is not necessary.

    Is there a way to disable Firefox from telling me that Adobe Flash Player is out of date?

    You can disable the blocking of modules in Firefox and remove the file blocklist.xml in the profile folder.

    Disable these prefs.
    Extensions.blocklist.Enabled = change this pref to false
    Extensions.blocklist.URL = delete the url if Firefox can't find the server where this file is sent from

  • Is there a way to close Firefox 4 and save tabs as there was in earlier versions?

    Previous versions of Firefox, when you went to close the window, she appeared on a window with options. I think they were saving tablets, Close Tabs and cancel. The new version, Firefox 4, is no longer allows you to save your tabs. Is there another way to close Firefox and save the tabs?

    Yes, Firefox 4 will now always save your tabs, and you can restore the next time by selecting "Restore previous Session" in the history menu, or press the big restore button on the default Firefox homepage.

    If you want Firefox to ask to save tabs when you exit (as in previous versions), you can do that by typing ' subject: config "in the address bar and change some settings: http://blog.zpao.com/post/3174360617/about-that-quit-dialog

    IS THERE A WAY TO "PUBLISHED IN THE WORLD" A WHOLE PROJECT OR AT LEAST PARAMETERS?

    Is it wise to publish all THE settings of a plugin?

    I prefer to reduce the options, for example I'm rigging 'size' to distribute only one of them-in my eyes - range 'useful '; or create by rigging the drop-down menu 'plans', for example for the color selections...

    In any case...

    'Major settings' as Transform or filling or 3D can be published, just click Reset arrow, and all the "sub menu" get published too... can't imagine how to make the publication easier...

    BTW: CAPS means YELLING on the boards...

  • Is there a way to make an EXE LabVIEW built on Windows XP on Windows 7?

    I have a request that I build (LabVIEW 8.6) on Windows XP, that installs and works fine on other XP machines.  However, after installing it on a Windows 7 computer, I get an error stating that "The procedure entry point CsrNewThread could not be found in the dynamic link library ntdll.dll".  When I look at ntdll.dll (in C:\Windows\System32) with a tool dependency walker on XP, I see the CsrNewThread function listed, but its function is missing from the same DLL named on Windows 7.  So I guess that somewhere along the evolutionary line Windows this function has been removed from ntdll.dll.  My first instinct was to try overwirting ntdll.dll on the Windows 7 machine with one copied from my Windows XP computer.  However, our system administrator only gave me permission to replace this file on the Windows 7 machine.  I could ask him to give me this permission, but I'm not sure it's the best way to go anyway because the other programs in Windows 7 can use ntdll.dll.  I tried to copy the WIndows XP version of ntdll.dll in the local folder on the Windows 7 machine containing my LabVIEW application, but this has not fixed the problem.  And when I look at my application in the dependency walker tool, I see that he is always looking in the ntdll.dll file in the WIndows\System32 folder and not in my local folder.  Yes, is there a way to make an EXE LabVIEW built on Windows XP on Windows 7?  Or I have to do a version for Windows XP and one for Windows 7?  Still, I am using LabVIEW 8.6.

    Thank you

    Keep in mind that LabVIEW 8.6 is not officially supported under Windows 7.  You may want to consider switching to less than LV2009.

    It would be unusual for a real program designed for Win95 or Win 3.1 be provided on a cd, they would normally have been on a diskette

  • Is there a way to make the character will blink or squint with one eye?

    Hi all!

    Is there a way to make the character will blink or squint with one eye? For example, in the 'Customize-> head' - Section only, I can customize some points on both eyes at the same time, but I have not found a way to make the character 'close' one eye so that it looks as if it is kind of flashing. It is even possible to do it with fuse... or IM just in the wrong place?

    Thanks in advance!

    Fabian Hey!  Fuse face expressions are more than one aspect of this face when you ask 'preview' it have rather intended for the laying of the real face.  We generally recommend leaving the fuse facial expressions and make laying in Photoshop, once you get there!  Here is a screenshot showing where you can access controls of the face in Photoshop.  That being said - I didn't "think that we have a unilateral wink or blink in fuse or Photoshop at the moment.  Might be interesting to post an idea in the forum of ideas for "better facial posing?"

    1. Select the 3D layer in the layers panel
    2. Select the skeleton of the character in the 3D Panel
    3. In the properties of the Panel change to the tab 'face '.
    4. Select an expression of search results
    5. Adjust the expression using the sliders and the offsets
