block file:///c:/ in Firefox Quantum release 60.4.0esr(32-bi

Post by thanostheo »

Hello,
I ve tried to block file:///c:/ in Firefox Quantum release 60.4.0esr(32-bit) by the above .json with no results.
I ve also tried to block it in a newer release and it was fine (78.15.0esr (32-bit)).
Is anything i can do to block it in this particular version i m using(60.4.0esr(32-bit))?

Thank you

As of Firefox 83 and Firefox ESR 78.5, file URLs are supported.

The WebsiteFilter Block file URLs feature is not supported in Firefox ESR 60.

I don't know a solution using AutoConfig.
