Pale Moon as file browser

Unread post by zemlik » 2019-03-18, 03:10

hello,
I was on my local apache website I made with links.
My mouse went to sleep and I was shaking it about and clicking to wake it up and Pale Moon page switched to an ftp type page showing file structure of my windows PC's C drive.
"that's quite useful" but don't see how to reproduce that.
how to make Pale Moon file browser ?

In your frantic clicking about, you probably dragged & dropped a drive/file folder on the Pale Moon window.

Well, for a Linux user with no drag-and-drop, one can open any directory opening a blank tab and typing an URL like this to access directory /xxxxx/yyyy

Code: Select all

file:///xxxxx/yyyy
