Phoenix doesn't open the original file but a temporary copy of it. All changes in the document will be lost. You'll notice that a few days later when opening the document again ... The possibility to open the original file is very important for use in an intranet environment! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open URL with link to a local doc-file 2. click link 3. open page with application 4. Make changes in the document 5. Save Changes and close applic 6. click link again 7. Look and see that the changes are gone ! Actual Results: my changes are gone Expected Results: checkbox [x] open original file
This sounds like a dupe of bug #73757 See also http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73757#c11 where the problem of _editing_ local files using external helper apps is mentioned explicitely so I suppose this problem to get fixed with bug #73757, too. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73757 ***
