Firefox Links to local or network pages do not work

I want my servers location (SharePoint) wiki page to display server names and links to windows shares located there, i.e. \\myserver1

This works in IE:

<a href="file:///\\myserver1">myserver1</a>

but in FF - not.

How to implement cross-browser windows share link?

Is this inside an intranet? Do you control the client machines? – Pekka Dec 10 '10 at 13:21
@Pekka: Yes, intranet servers. No access to client machines/browsers settings, only to my one :) – abatishchev Dec 10 '10 at 13:31
then I'm afraid this *may* be impossible. AFAIK (as pointed out in the dupe) local links are disabled by default in FF. – Pekka Dec 10 '10 at 13:53
