problem linking to files with Firefox 1.5

[Slappy01uk]

Hi,

I have recently moved to Firefox 1.5 and found out that one of my web pages is having problems with links to files not working.

Example of code.

<td><div class="fieldLabel">Check <a href="file:/home/hc0200/support/LOGS/NWP_DLTidyUp">Remove old dates from NWP Register</a></div></td>

This code gives the following erro in the Javascript console.

Security Error: Content at http://www-hc/~support/Tasklist/2005/Dec/2005342.html may not load or link to file:///home/hc0200/support/LOGS/NWP_DLTidyUp.


This type of linking to a file used to work in previous versions of Mozilla and Firefox.
Does anyone know how to switch this security feature off in Firefox 1.5

Thanks

I perused the options for Firefox in 1.5 and couldn't find it. You might just be stuck :(

Serve it up from a script-alias directory instead of off the file system.
