title: How do I make a file:// hyperlink that works in both IE and Firefox?
body: <p>In my documentation web pages, I often need to provide links to locations, files and applications (.xbap) stored on the intranet. </p>
  
  <p>In IE, this works fine with URLs formatted like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;a href="file://///company.org/ProjectA/StatsReport"&gt;Go to folder&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;a href="file://///company.org/ProjectA/Readme.txt"&gt;Download file&lt;/a&gt;
  &lt;a href="file://///company.org/ProjectA/Dashboard.xbap"&gt;Run xbap&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>These links all work fine under IE, but in Firefox they don't. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how I can format the above links to work both in IE and Firefox?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>
  The above link actually work if I put them in a local file. They stop working only in Firefox when they are part of a html file on the network (not on my machine). There must be some kind of security setting in Firefox that prevents file:/// links from working coming from external content?</p>
