Installed 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 :(

EXCELLENT! works perfectly - removes the barrier of not being able to get to local files in my browser based support call application.

Great 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.
Vincent.

Definitely works but sometimes opens the link in up to 6 separate windows.

This 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.

12000 lines of code in options.js? Seriuosly? Do I need 12000 lines of options to open a file link?
Whole shebang of "Launch App Button" from srazzano takes 600 lines, with all bells & whistles.
I don't want to trust bloatware. I don't know why would a legitimate addon like this need scheduler and so on.

Simple amazing plugin. Extremely useful. It opens local files and folder which is not possible using standard Firefox functionality.

Thinks for your donation,it helps me a lot

Great Add-ons!
But sometimes, when I open a local link, it opens 10 times by one mouseklick.
I hope the will come an update to fix this problem.

I love this add-on! The extension made it possible to switch to Firefox without paying the price to not open local links anymore. The bigger problem is that our anti-virus software, called Sophos, has a really big problem with the programm, that has to be installed and it automatically deactivates it so the whole add-on doesn't work anymore. If there's any possibility for you to solve this i would be so thankful, but i know it's not your add-on what makes it difficult it's our anti-virus software, so yeah...

993k for an animated howto gif?!?!

Put it on the web and link to it.

It's almost half the size of the extension.

Link Gopher (legacy) does the same but for remote links in 1/6 the size.

Great extension, really helpful. Thank you! Is slower than the versions before Firefox quantum, but it's working!

Doesn't work any more, moreover it freezes pages randomly, even when it's not doing anything.

Have it frozen to 0.99.47
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 me

tahk you

We use this add-on in Firefox in combination with links in Alfresco to a local file folder system based on Alfresco. In the previous edition of this add-on it worked fine. Starting from today a new version of this add-on was installed: 0.99.57. Now the links does not work any longer and we receive the message: Attempt to postMessage on disconnected port. Pleas check that you have installed the native app. See installation Guide in addon-bar menu.
We have installed the previous version of this add-on: 0.99.47 and now the links in alfresco are working again.
I hope that there will be a solution so that we can go over to the latest edition of this add-on and to the latest version of firefox. By the way: we have tested the latest version of this add-on in Firefox 57... and then it was also not working
