I am looking for a way to launch a file located on our local file network for use via our local intranet using Firefox or Chrome.
The link works well in IE:
<a href="\\Start\Of\My\Network\file.xlsx">View Report</a>
but in Firefox it shows:
<a href="http://mydomain.com/\\Start\Of\My\Network\file.xlsx">View Report</a>
is there a way to get the link to render properly?...Just a simple click from a href tag.

Click on the '''Downloads''' icon in the toolbar (it should automatically open when you download a file). 2. Right-click on the file and enable '''Always Open Similar Files''' 3. Go to '''Settings''', and scroll down to the ''Applications'' section 4.
If you were looking for a menu option, you can find it by clicking the Firefox button in the top left corner, then New Tab, then Open File. If the menu bar is displayed instead of the Firefox button, click the File menu, then Open File.
To make certain file types OPEN on your computer, instead of Chrome Downloading... You have to download the file type once, then right after that download, look at the status bar at the bottom of the browser. Click the arrow next to that file and choose "always open files of this type". DONE.
For Chrome, a new extension was just posted today! It's called LocalLinks and it replicates the functionality of the locallink add-on for Firefox! You'll find it on the Google Extensions page, or you can get to it directly here:
