- 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!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15262706, 6 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by rixtech, 6 years agoThis is a great add on that just makes the workday easier.
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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Adarsh Madrecha, 7 years agoSimple amazing plugin. Extremely useful. It opens local files and folder which is not possible using standard Firefox functionality.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel, 7 years agoGreat extension, really helpful. Thank you! Is slower than the versions before Firefox quantum, but it's working!

posted 7 years agoGreat to hear that you find the addon useful. Our primary goal was to make the addon working on Firefox Quantum at all and ship it as quickly as possible. Performance issues are addressed in later steps. - Rated 5 out of 5by diy1966, 7 years ago

I am NOT installing a separate piece of software so this can function
This extension works fine but webextension API is a POS
working around firefox's webextension API BS is becoming very time consuming for meDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoThe 2-component-architecture was the best way we came up with with regard to limitations of the WebExtensions API. I am aware that this is not optimal but what can be done instead? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13461379, 7 years ago
