title: Opening a folder through FireFox with HTML
body: <p>I recently built a HTML and Javascript web application that opens specific folders throughout a network of accessible drives.  This app works well when it is rendered in IE; however, the folder paths do not work in FireFox.</p>
  
  <p>The following is an example of the path format that I am using to open the folders in IE:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      window.open('\\\\Server-1\\Folder-1\\Folder-2');
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong><em>The path actually has 4 backward slashes at the beginning and 2 bakcward slashes between each folder.  It appears different when rendered.</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>When I run this app in FireFox, the window or new tab appears, but there is nothing rendered.  I've manually entered the path and FireFox converts it to: <code>file://///Server-1/Folder-1/Folder-2</code>.  Does anyone know what the correct syntax would be (i.e. <code>window.open(?...)</code>)?</p>
