It does sound like a lot of fun ... but I'm working so I'll live it to
someone else who can afford to play around :)
One more thing, I don't really care about hacking Firefox or Safari ...
I just tried them out to see if my app is dumb or other apps have
problems too :)

Short version: You can't.
<file:///\\10.1.1.1\SomeFolder\FileName.jpg> isn't a valid file: URI;
the fact that it works in Internet Explorer on Windows is more by
mistake than by design. You can create smb://share/path URIs that
ALMOST work similarly, but they aren't recognized by the URL Loading
framework or by Firefox.
If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can try writing your
own NSURLProtocol subclass to handle these types of URIs natively.
However, note that:
1. Your code doesn't affect other applications, so Safari (and other
browsers) won't gain the benefit of your subclass without ugly hacks.
2. Your code won't affect Firefox at all, because it uses its own
URL loading framework.
3. Samba is ugly code. Massively, incredibly ugly. It is not fun to
work with. However, you'll probably have to dig deep into it to
implement this sort of thing. Have fun.
