Launch file:// from Firefox or Chrome

Question

I am looking for a way to launch a file located on our local file network for use via our local intranet using Firefox or Chrome.

The link works well in IE:

Answer 1

Firefox seems to want file://///Start/Of/My/Network/file.xlsx

Chrome and IE handles that too. file://Start/Of/My/Network/file.xlsx appears to work in Chrome as well, sometimes firefox hics up on it..
