Hi, i recently added Firefox 60.4 ESR to my Citrix environment to overcome some (many...) IE limitations. the problem is, that i can easily block "file:" protocol in IE using GPO, but i cannot seem to find a way to block "file:" in Firefox. this poses a serious security flaw as it allows users access to C: drive of the Citrix server, as well as network locations they have no business accessing. i would like to block the "file://" protocol in Firefox. does anyone know if this is possible?
