Accessing DAV Resources from Firefox


At the time of the writing of this book, Firefox does not include native support for accessing DAV resources. However, the Windows-only openwebfolder extension allows you to hook into the Microsoft Windows WebDAV component, allowing you to access DAV resources from within Firefox. It is available from http://openwebfolder.mozdev.org/.

To install it, just click on the XPI link at http://openwebfolder.mozdev.org/installation.html from within Firefox and follow the instructions. Once you have restarted Firefox, you can right-click any page and select Open as Web Folder from the pop-up to access it through WebDAV (see Figure 8.4).
