[Mozilla Enterprise] Problems with local file links since 68.3.0esr

[Malte Riemer]

But why did it work with Firefox 68.2.0esr without problems? I can reproduce it. And with all other browsers there’s no problem.
We did not change configuration in MS Office. Also even without any GPO-configuration (standard installation of Office) there is still that problem with Firefox 68.3.0esr.

The template opens and you can start the macros manually, but not automatically - which is very important for the user.
So it is not problem with Firefox download from local file - problem is only in autostart macros? It is Office setup.

No, I also tried with filenames without spaces in it, but the macros won’t run automatically. I also tested with Internet Explorer, Edge and Chrome. There’s no problem with it!

It’s a bad behavior for us, because we prefer the Firefox as a browser for nearly every Software-product and internal websites and also for provide all Office-Templates in a clearly nice way within our Intranet. But this new behavior will be a big challenge for us to handle.

Is it possible the files have spaces in them? We apparently have a separate bug for that:

Hi,



we use these preferences to start Word-templates from Firefox-Browser.



capability.policy.policynames = LocalFileLinks

capability.policy.LocalFileLinks.sites = [several internal websites]

capability.policy.LocalFileLinks.checkloaduri.enabled = allAccess



We use a workaround with pointing first on a LNK-file, which itself pointing on the actual Word-template.

Example:

Word-template is here:

==>  Z:\public\msoffice\letter_template.dotm

LNK-file we link to from our internal websites:

==>  Z:\public\msoffice\weblinks\letter_template.lnk



The lnk-file just link directly to the .dotm-file.



Some of these Word-templates have startup macros (e.g. an user form for getting input from the user). This worked for years. Since the last FF-update to 68.3.0esr these startup-macros does not work anymore. The template opens and you can start the macros manually, but not automatically - which is very important for the user.



This is so important for managing hundreds of templates.



Does anyone have the same problem?

Or even a solution or workaround?



Thanks!



Malte
