Firefox security policies may noy allow for safety reasons to execute local JS code on your computer from a file.

Why you'd need that anyway? If you want it to work maybe you should think uploading it to a server.

I need to develop an aplication for create and deform 3D object. And I only found a library in JavaScript and It works.

The problem is that I need to send the positions of the objects (X, Y, Z) by a external aplication build in C++.

This external aplication make a .txt file with the parametres every 500ms, and the local webpage needs to read this file.

For this razon I have allow this security polices.

A lot of thanks.
