I am adding links to my organization's intranet page. I have a SAMBA server that I would like users to be able to access from the intranet page. Seems easy enough. I created a link that works from macs "smb://ip/share" that works just fine. For Windows users I added "file:////ip/share" and this works from Internet Explorer but most of our users on Windows are either on Firefox or Chrome. Is there a way to get Firefox to open "file" links correctly? Or a better way for me to do my linking?

Looks like Firefox disables the file: handler, you could re-enable it in each browser.

+1 because on this web page are links to Firefox extensions which re-enable this file handler. – Raffael Luthiger Jan 13 '10 at 0:09
