I really don't think it's a valid reason to support - or not - something ;-) Anyway: Tests: http://www.mozilla.org/quality/networking/testing/filetests.html The inital bug report, and why this "feature" has not been implemented yet https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70871 Quoting: " There are still some major problems that make this difficult to fix. 1) Nothing in any specification, other than the behaviour of IE, says that remote file:// URLs should be interpreted as referring to SMB shares. In fact, the example you quoted suggests they should be interpreted as FTP URLs. 2) If we do decide to treat them as SMB shares then we have to decide what to do on non-Windows systems where Samba might not be available or might be hard to detect/use. 3) We have to fix potential security issues when file:// URLs could link to remote, possibly malicious content. 4) What we do *still* won't be compatible with IE, at the least because IE allows \ as a path separator --- even examples in this bug show that --- and that *clearly* violates standards. " Note: whatever the security settings (about:config), in does not seem to change anything in Firefox 1.5 on Windows.
