Firefox Register protocol

Firefox 3.5 and above

(Works without installed Gnome libraries)
  • Type about:config into the Location Bar (address bar) and press Enter.
  • Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> Name: network.protocol-handler.expose.foo -> Value -> false (Replace foo with the protocol you're specifying)
  • Next time you click a link of protocol-type foo you will be asked which application to open it with.
