Running Exe In Firefox Why Do I Get An Error
Solution 1:
In javascript literals, a backslash indicates the beginning of an escape sequence. If you actually want to represent a backslash, you can escape it with a double backslash.
ie 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe /c start winword.exe'

EDIT: From the comments on the correct answer from the post you linked, it looks like the way he got it working was:
only pass the path to runexe: javascript:RunExe('C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe')
set the params equal to the command args: var parameters = ["/c start winword.exe"];
So this would work theoretically:
<html><head><script>functionRunExe(path) {
try {
var ua = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (ua.indexOf("msie") != -1) {
MyObject = newActiveXObject("WScript.Shell")
MyObject.Run(path);
} else {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalXPConnect");
var exe = window.Components.classes['@mozilla.org/file/local;1'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
exe.initWithPath(path);
var run = window.Components.classes['@mozilla.org/process/util;1'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);
run.init(exe);
var parameters = ["/c start winword.exe"];
run.run(false, parameters, parameters.length);
}
} catch (ex) {
alert(ex.toString());
}
}
</script></head><body><ahref="#"onclick="javascript:RunExe('C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe');">Open Word</a></body>Although clearly it would be better to pass in the params as an argument than hardcode them as I've done here (or pass them in as part of the path and parse them out)
