I have a html page stored locally with links to local files, which all open ok except where the file is (eg) .xls and requires OpenOffice to open and convert it
Clicking on a link to a local file works ok for .odt .ods .pdf etc, but not for .doc or .xls. These cause a "not found" error with a file reference which is truncated. The files in question all open perfectly through W Explorer or through the Open command. This all worked ok in early December, but has recently faulted. The links work ok in Internet Explorer, so the fault appears to be in Firefox v71.0 64 bit running in Windows 7.

Try to set this pref to false on the about:config page.
- privacy.file_unique_origin = false
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
Thanks for the response. I tried that change but it didn't help, so I've changed it back to true.
I have some more info on the fault - it produces a stream of errors which seem to reflect spaces in the document's address. So I createds a .doc file in a top level directory so the address had no spaces and it opened ok. I then changed the document name from test01.doc to test 01.doc. The first opens, the second one gives the errors. So there's a problem in handling links where the local address has spaces and it requires OpenOffice to convert the file. Weird!
