how to disable firefox to access to the local disks

Post by Xiaoqian Cao »

Hi,

on Red Hat linux

Is there is a method to disable firefox to have the acess to my local file?

In other words, just make firefox as a web browser, but it won't have access
to my local disk or file syestems.

For security enhancement, normal users can only surf the internet with
firefox. But they cannot explore the local disks and files with firebox.

Thanks a lot!
