Send file from browser to open in notepad++

[Active Colors]

I have made personal New Tab page for firefox (f.e. newtab.htm) and I want there to put "Edit" button which will open this file in notepad++. I didn't find anything related in google, maybe some of you could know how to accomplish this. I want to know what url format I should write in order to open this newtab.htm from notepad++.

I'm no expert, but I think you will need some Javascript, and I'm not entirely sure you will be able to do it them. The thing is, having a web page that can open a local file on your PC is just the AntiChrist of Security in the web world.

I was hoping there could be a "URI method" to open the file, like mailto: .

You can create your own URI scheme.

This is exactly what I was looking for! But it seems that I type wrong command to open the file. Notepad++ is being opened, but the file is not. This is how my link looks like: npp:D:/Lists/newtab.htm.

But I have made temporary solution. I have written address of the file right into the registry key.
