Open local files with Chrome
Open local files with Firefox
Open local files with Internet Explorer

1. Open files with Chrome

By default (and for security !), Chrome forbids the opening of urls pointing towards local files, from a web browser. There is a workaround using the openLoc:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/locallinks/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida

Then activate the extension.

2. Open files with Firefox

Again, by default and for security, Firefox forbids the opening of URLs pointing at local files, from a web browser. Here is a work around:

Open the AppData folder

To locate it easily in Firefox, click on :

Firefox->Help->Debug help

Then click on Open the corresponding folder

The path sould like the following : C:\Users\Utilisateurs\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxx.default

2 possibilities :

Either there is already a user.js file, to which you need to add the following lines :

user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks");

user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://192.168.1.88:8080");

user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");

Or there is no file named user.js, in which case you need to create it and put the lines detailed above.

You then need to copy user.js into the folder, to stop Firefox (check that the process has been killed) and restart it. The local files should open normally.

3. Open files with Internet Explorer

Open Internet Explorer
