Have googled to see whether it's possible to use javascript as you
claim it's being used?!

As has been suggested previously, the link on your router's linking to
display your local files through "file:///..." and there's nothing
nefarious or magical about that. Nothing's being uploaded, downloaded,
modified, deleted, etc; you're just browsing your local filesystem
through Firefox/Chromium/Epiphany/Konqueror/...
