this happens when trying to open a local file using a local server (example: easyPHP): my file is located at:

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.9\www\myweb\test.php

and my index page has a link to it. The link is generated depending if I am working local or not.

Correct syntax would be - file:///C:/Program Files/EasyPHP-5.3.9/www/mysite/test.php

Open file with Firefox button > New Tab > Open File (or File > Open File on the Menu Bar) to see the correct syntax in the Location/URL bar. CTRL+o (the letter O) will also open the Open File dialog.

You can open that file in Firefox via New Tab > Open File to see the correct path with the file:// protocol (file://localhost/C:/)

Note that Firefox won't allow to open local pages via a direct link, only a relative link to a higher directory is allowed.

  1. That should be "file:///" with 3 "/" not 2 "/" as you indicate.
  2. Did you try opening using the Open File suggestion above?

The only other suggestions that I can find for you; maybe you can adapt them to your situation:

It does not help... shame. I wanted to be the most general as possible, but I reached the limits of the friendship between firefox and easyPhp or wamp. I'll work with hardcoded relative path instead, no wories ;-)
