- Rated 4 out of 5by Leonardo, 2 years agoWorks ok . However not 5 stars because there is still an issue which causes the link to open several times the target after the click.

- Rated 1 out of 5by VitAl2013, 3 years agoNot working. For example, open Quire.io login and add local link in any message. No hyperlink detected at all.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sor Targol, 4 years agoExtremely useful extension. There is a bug noticed in the latest (0.100.2) version: sometimes (with 10% probability) clicking on a link opens several (from 3 to 10) identical program instances. Setting the number of run repetitions to 0,-1 or 1 doesn't help. Version 0.99.64 doesn't have this issue

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14178941, 4 years agoHi There! I love your add-on! I am having an issue, however, where single-clicking the link opens Windows Explorer multiple times (1-3 Explorer windows pop open). Otherwise, GREAT!

Thanks a lot :o)) - Rated 1 out of 5by Martha, 5 years agoInstalled add-on and the helper application, it is completely non-functional on my computer. (Won't cooperate with Monday.com? Maybe conflicts with security settings? I don't know.) Disappointed - this means I have to go back to Chrome for work :(
Developer response
posted 5 years agoMaybe it's because of a disabled feature "dynamic link handling" in the version you tried. That feature is now enabled again with version 0.99.64 and newer. I don't know Monday.com but it should work now. If you like, you could retry it and let me know if it is working. - Rated 5 out of 5by Bald Superhero, 5 years agoEXCELLENT! works perfectly - removes the barrier of not being able to get to local files in my browser based support call application.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15262706, 5 years agoGreat add-on,
I made an Electronic Document Management for my company, with firefox until release 60.0.1 using this settings.:
lockPref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
lockPref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://localwebserver");
lockPref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");
lockPref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted", "UniversalFileRead");
lockPref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.id", "http://localwebserver");
in my EDM, depending of a status in a database, the script launch in firefox a popup windows witch open the document on a network share.
Is it possible that our add-on scans the header's page for something like:
window.open("file:///I:/a_folder/a_file"...
and directly open the file without having to clic on a link on the page?
If I can, I'd like to help you.

Sure, there are a whole lot of philosophical arguments about why you shouldn't need to use a local filesystem explorer, or that IE should never have made us lazy back in the 90s. But the reality in real workplaces is that users have a mix of browsers on a mix of OSes talking to a mix of fileshares and content management services, and there is usually no project willing to pay for revising legacy document links. Add ons like this one help you to get on with the work you're paid to do instead of wrestling with the foibles of your PC and dealing with legacy cruft that builds up as "best practice" evolves.
