For Ubuntu 14.04: From: http://askubuntu.com/questions/457461/gvfs-mount-not-working-on-ubuntu-14-04-for-wireless-hdd/459093#459093 Find the path to your network drive as it would be found in Terminal.
Now you can copy and paste this path into Firefox to access network share. Make sure the share is mounted first. So, for me that path was: /var/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.1.1,share=router_drive/ Once you confirm you can access the network, go back to the gvfs folder and save your share as a bookmark. Now you have it in the file open menu. I have Firefox version 52, so I guess no one is working on this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579543 Title: Firefox 46 is missing network shares in file selector Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Expected behavior: Firefox file selection windows show network shares mounted via Nautilus (i.e. gvfs SMB mounts).
