Hi,

As described at : OBIEE 11g - Adding Custom Links With Icons - Red Stack Tech

we created some links in the left menu.

Our problem is that when this link target is a Windows folder, it only opens up with IE.

When we use Firefox or Chrome, nothing happens, the folder window doesn't show up.

Any idea why?

Thanks

Hi,

This isn't an OBIEE issue or related topic.

It's the browsers limiting that kind of local access for security reasons.

If you google for that you find details on the why and some possible options and workaround.

But it's not because the link is in OBIEE: any page with local folder links will not work in Firefox or Chrome out of the box.
