Unexpected Exception: Error: Access to 'myFile' from script denied. Firefox 27

[Sky Nelson]

Greetings,
I am helping colleagues install Firefox.

They entered a selenium command
command: open
target: file:///C:myfile.html

They received an error when trying to load a local file into Selenium IDE
"Unexpected Exception: Error: Access to 'myFile' from script denied."

Repro Steps to resolve:
1. I tried going to a new window in firefox and opening "about:config"
2. search for security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy. Double click to change from TRUE to FALSE.

Results:
On firefox 26, this worked. I can now open the local file without error.

Then the next day there was an automatic update to Firefox 27.

Now that fix no longer works. The receive the "Access denied error" every time.

Any ideas?

I did include my local file under Option // Security // Exceptions  in  Allow sites in Firefox as file:///C:myfile.html
It did worked for me
Hope this is helpfull :-)

Just assuming this may help you

Try keeping the file in another Drive say 'D:' and work on it
