Thanks for the feedback. LocalLink 0.3 works without modifications (save the maxVersion) in TB 2, which is why I marked it as compatible with TB 2 on addons.mozilla.org (just a few minutes ago). Unfortunately, it doesn't get listed at all. Yet another AMO problem, I would say. LocalLink 0.4 incorporates the changes which were necessary for FF 3. (It also changes the localization method.) There is no TB 3 yet, therefore LL 0.4 is FF only. I'll look into the AMO issues when I find spare time.

Can anyone explain why please? For reference, here is my reply from the forum: The following is a security risk: A) A page served by http: links to file: The risk is that a foreign page could access content on your computer. The following is not a security risk: B) A page served by file: (opened locally) links to file: "B" is not forbidden by Firefox, "A" is. "A" can be solved by using CAPS or LocalLink, see the KB page. But you are trying to do "B". This is unrelated to CAPS, LocalLink and that KB page. In your case, "B" doesn't work because the URL is messed up - it is not in standard format. It has been produced by a Microsoft product (FS), and it works in a Micosoft product (IE), but not in standard compliant software (FF). No surprises here either... Michael
