Execute batch script from Firefox

I wrote an intranet application from which you can directly connect to a virtual machine by clicking the RDP button. Clicking brings up the .bat file, which opens the connection.

In IE, this is not a problem as you can directly execute the batch file. But with Firefox I can only load the script and you have to run it manually after that. Is there a way to trust the intranet domain (about: config?) So that Firefox will let it run scripts directly? Or is there an even better (easier) way to start an RDP connection from Firefox?

You can easily register your own protocol handler like " myrdp://somedata

" to start the application that opens the VM (this is probably working with a .bat, it works with a WSH script, a small exe better) IE / FF supports this feature and lets you just just<a href="myrdp://somedata" ..>

You can also try to configure your firefox to open .rdp files automatically with the default rdp client. This way, the files will be loaded in a temporary directory and launched immediately.



You can do this in Firefox preferences. Hope this helps)
