Did your write the CAPS policies with a listing off all the sites which 
you are removing the security limits?  I have been using a CAPS over 
ride in Tbird so I do know the additions to user.js do work. The CAPS 
are common core code, so my Tb experience is valid. As you state, the 
UNC conversions of local file paths do look correct when compared to the 
Kb page.

How about pasting in your reply the lines from your user.js that you 
wrote to set up your CAPS policy.

That's a lot of '/'s. :-)

Which users do you have in mind of and what links do you want them to visit?
