Hi Chris (and all)
It seems that Firefox now prevents to open local files or files located on a local resource (\\ServerName).
See those links for more details: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Links+to+local+or+network+pages+do+not+w...
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues_:_Links_to_Local_Pages_Don%27t_Wo... There are very good reasons for disabling this, telling people to enable it on the browser is questionable. Why do you not want the documents to be delivered via http? when I saw this request, my assumption was that the server had access to the content via the \\ path, not that the client had that access.

The solution (thanks to StackOverflow <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/192080/firefox-links-to-local-or-network-pages-do-not-work>)
* type "about:config" in the address bar and accept "i'll be careful" * find "security.checkloaduri" in older versions or "security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy" in newer versions of firefox and change the value to "false" * restart firefox
Cheers,
Eric

For your first point, prepending your URL with FILE:// <FILE:///%5C%5C> should do the trick.

Hi Everyone, Couple of questions: 1. I have e-Books stored on a server they are accessible by a server path such as\\ZEUS\Ebooks\Robert <file:///%5C%5CZEUS%5CEbooks%5CRobert> A. Heinlein\Friday (9178)\Friday - Robert A. Heinlein.lit I add this in as a URL however whenever anyone clicks on a link it redirects tohttp://olympus/cgi-bin/koha/%5C%5CZEUS%5CEbooks%5CRobert%20A.%20Heinlein%5CF... can anyone suggest a good way of getting around this minor issue :) 2. I have quite an extensive eBook collection that I need to import any recommendations for how I could achieve this easily I have a list of the titles and their paths but unsure of a way to import them.
