Firefox has considered and rejected that kind of proposal for security
reasons. I can't find the bug right now, but I suspect that we would not
implement that feature even if it were specced.
On Windows Firefox file:////server/path works, though. After the initial
two slashes are satisfied we take "//server/path" as the path and hand
it off to the OS which happily treats that as a UNC path.
