Three years later, apparently this has changed again, and neither file:// nor file:/// unblocks popups for file URLs. I've also tried file:///* and file:///path/to/directory/ which is really what I want, but the only thing that actually works is a full file:///path/to/directory/filename.html (for every HTML file in the directory).
Has anyone found a workaround that works in FF 72? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290867 Title: CanĀ“t authorize local application to open pop-ups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/290867/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
