Register new protocol handler in Firefox
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.
* As value enter the path to the application you want to launch when you click on a URL with protocol://.
Example if you want to open lastfm:// URLs with the Last.fm Player (installed under /opt/Last.fm/) you enter network.protocol-handler.app.lastfm as preference name and /opt/Last.fm/player as value.
