Firefox and ktorrent

[Paul Lemmons]

I was trying to download a torrent today in hardy using firefox 3B5. In 
the past, before the upgrade, it would open ktorrent by default and life 
was good. Now I get the cryptic message:

aaa.bbb.ccc.torrent could not be opened, because the associated helper 
application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

I have looked at the KDE file associations and they seem to be correct. 
I am thinking that this is a firefox thing. Try as I might, though, I am 
not finding any way to perform the task it suggests. I have seen a 
number of others have asked the same question on the net but nobody, 
that I have found, has gotten an answer yet.

Ktorrent is installed and it works perfectly. I can cut and past the url 
into it by hand and the download starts without any problems.

Any suggestions?

Sometimes I wonder.  Were our faith able to stand upright and look around, would it be looking down at the mustard seed or standing in awe of the height and breadth of it.
