Sometimes you may want to configure Firefox to open links for a special protocol in a external application. There is a quite simple way to do this but it requires knowledge about one of Firefox most usefull "hidden feature" the about:config page. On this page you can view and alter the your Firefox configuration.

* Enter about:config
* Create a new string value by right click and select New -> String. Enter network.protocol-handler.app.protocol as preference name.

Firefox hangs when tab or window containing a flash applet is closed. This only happens with sometimes.

Possible solutions

Sound problem

The problem can be that firefox is not able to play the sound since you have a newer Linux kernel (with ALSA).
Install libesd-alsa0. On a Debian based system just do:

<bash>apt-get install libesd-alsa0</bash>
