Yes, I am already aware of the FireFox issue.
The way to make sure it will always work would be by setting a http server serving the contents of the network drive.
Yes, you are right. Ideally one should do this. But I don't think this is a possibility right now at our place and that's why we need to come up with a workaround.
One of the benefits of using a open source system like mediawiki is that we can customize it to make it fit into the system. So I am hoping that there ought to be some way by which we can fix the links automatically.

Take "file:///Z:/my project/data is really important for the company" should that be a link to file:///Z:/my ? file:///Z:/my%20project/data? file:///Z:/my%20project/data%20is%20really%20important ? The space is a separator, and I don't think you can simply incorporate all spaces into urls without breaking everything.

I am not sure if I understood your question completely but let me explain t= his with an example:
Say I have a file link in my wikitext as: file:///Z:/my project/data is really important for the company.pdf
and I would it to convert automatically as: file:///Z:/my%20project/data%20is%20really%20important%20for%20the%20compan= y.pdf
So basically all the "spaces" are converted to "%20".

I understood that. But I also think you don't want "file:///Z:/my project/data is really important for the company.pdf (created by the boss)" to convert automatically to "file:///Z:/my%20project/data%20is%20really%20important%20for%20the%20company.pdf%20created%20by%20the%20boss)"
Really, using a template passing the filename as a parameter, as i mentioned at the beginning, and Haim is now resuggesting, is the way to go.
