adding protocols to Firefox

[Glenn R Williams]

Nigel,

here are some instructions I found at

http://www.cinlug.org/node/316


(1.) Open Firefox and type "about:config" (no quotes) in the address window, 
and click enter.
(2.) Right click on the window and choose <New>, then <String> from the pop-up 
menu that appears.
(3.) In the first pop-up box, enter: "network.protocol-handler.app.mms" (no 
quotes, and it might just be easier to cut 'n paste this into the box).
(4.) In the next pop-up box enter the path to Kaffeine (e.g. 
"/usr/bin/kaffeine").
(5.) Now, click in the main window again but choose <New> <Boolean>
(6.) In the first pop-up box, enter: "network.protocol-handler.external.mms"
(7.) In the second pop-up select <True>.

I'm pretty sure I did this to make it work (substituting mplayer)

HTH,

Glenn
