Is there a solution for the version of Firefox in 7.04 (ver
2.0.0.6) to the problem that local links of the form
file:///xxx/yyy/z.htm won't display?

These links are generated automatically and it would be possible to
run a script to edit the links, but that seems to me to be a
somewhat ugly hack.

No problem here. I tested opening
file:///home/apjjr/junk/getTaxFormsList.html on my system and Firefox
opened it right up. Don't know what's wrong on your system.


According to Google searches, it's a well-known problem that had
solutions up to ver 1.5, but I can't see one for the current version.

I'm running a local (internal) website via Apache2 and pages are
loaded as http://....etc Some contain file://..... etc links and these
don't work.

It seems to be a known problem. I just wondered if there was a
solution. Firefox will open such links if typed in, but not from html
pages.

If you are viewing via a web server, you need to change those links
from file:/// to http:// on the server.
I don't know any other way around it. They are 2 different methods of
referencing the file relative to your browser. Local system; file:///,
web server; http://.
