Local file bookmarks do not open when clicked.

[KeelyHill]

Example: I have a local folder (or file) bookmarked. file:///home/user/Documents/PDFLinks/, clicking on it from the Perfect Home new tab does nothing. Opening from standard bookmarks bar works fine. The thumbnail just says "undefined".

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? Thanks.

Looks like a bug. Let me have a look.

looks like this is prevented for security reasons...

adding these properties manually in about:config fixes the problem:

• capability.policy.policynames set to localfilelinks
• capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled set to allAccess
• capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites set to moz-extension://ae713ee4-9617-1948-ae55-cefc81ae55f1/index.html (the long ID number is the ID of this extension)

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be fixable (at least not without hacking) so I'm gonna add a FAQ item with the above workaround and some popup (when you click a local link) to explain why it doesn't work and what to do.

Thanks for looking into this! The work around (and popup) worked for me.
