Quick question...

I'm working on an intranet and need to a link to a user's local folder. Basically click on the link to open a folder on their computer.

This works in IE:

Code: Select all

<a href="file://H:/localhost files/My Documents/Development/users specific docs" target="_blank">Open 
                  Local Directory</a>
However, in FF this opens the FF vs of a folder view...

I'm assuming this is a FF Fix but I'm not sure..any ideas?

If memory serves, yes, it is Firefox's choice to display it in-browser.

I figured that much...You don't happen to remember which setting it is to change it do you?

I don't recall there being a setting for it at all.

look in about:config - there may be something there....
