Maybe a good idea to rename/move this to Links to local pages do not work. The URL-encoded apostrophe makes links posted in forums look silly. Thoughts? Jonnyq

I would not be opposed to that. The reason a contraction was used in the first place was to mirror Image tooltips don't work. --Unarmed 15:15, 29 August 2005 (PDT)

I'm using Firefox 1.5 beta 1 but the solution provided here doesn't work for me. Does is work for anyone? --Agusmba 08:52, 26 September 2005 (PDT)

_______________________ I have gotten this to work for links to local files on my "C" drive...for example:
file:///C:/test.doc

...but I cannot get it to open files that are stored on a network drive. I have tried the following:
file:///H:/test.doc
file://///myservername/mysharename/test.doc
When I click on one of the links above, nothing happens. The formats are correct, however: if I right-click on the link, select "Copy link location", and paste it into a new tab, the file opens correctly.

All of this worked in Firefox 1.0.7 just fine.

So...it looks like the security policy capability in FF 1.5 isn't quite working correctly. --Steve66 08:25, 01 December 2005 (PDT)
