Getting file:// protocol to work in Firefox

By default Mozilla does not allow links with the "file://" protocol. In this default setting the Rally file url functionality does not work.

You can override the default by modifying the Firefox network settings:

1. Type "about:config" in your browser's address field.
2. Use the filter to locate the network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris entry.
3. Double click on the setting to edit it.
4. Enter the address of your intranet site, ex:. http://intranet.myco.com
5. OK the change
6. Close the browser and restart.
7. When you restart the file urls should work.
