(In reply to ArcFi from comment #3) > Sorry, but it doesn't look like closed. > Clicking SMB-link currently does nothing. AcrFi: I think this bug should stay as CLOSED. You're right that the functionality is not implemented in Firefox currently. However this is the Fedora bugtracker and we should not use this bug tracker for generic upstream issues. Please subscribe to the Mozilla bug 682838 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682838) if you're interested in the latest progress. Firefox as shipped in Fedora will contain the smb feature when Mozilla releases a Firefox version which implements it.
