Rated 4 out of 5
by Cormchij, 4 years agoGreat, handy addon. But it does not open local links to files and folders on the PC like: file: /// F: /TCVIMG/*.* and file: /// F: / TCVIMG /. Standard bookmark manager - understands and opens everything normally. This is inconvenient if you need to view a file on the HDD. Make it open such local links.

posted 4 years agoHello @Cormchij, correct, this is forbidden by Firefox, add-ons cannot access / open local files.
Have a look at the Browser console (Ctrl+Shift+J) when you click on such a bookmark in BSP2, you will see security messages in it saying Firefox prevented using the URL:
"Error: Illegal URL: file:///E:...."
Note that there seems you could have a workaround, but this requires that you modify your Firefox config: http://www.websina.com/bugzero/kb/browser-file-url.html (an add-on cannot do that of course)
