Title:
URL handler does not work correctly in Firefox after registering in
gconf
Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
= Problem =
Firefox is no associating with URL handlers set within gconf. These
are typically used for 3rd party applications wishing to associate a
particular URL type, e.g. "notes:///example" to load Lotus Notes and
pass the word example to it.
= Environment =
* Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise)
* Firefox 11.0+build1-0ubuntu4
= Steps to reproduce =
Reproducible 100%
1. Register a url handler in gconf (example using evince)
# sudo gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/evince/command
'/usr/bin/evince %s' --type String
# sudo gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/evince/enabled --type
Boolean true
2. Load Firefox
3. Try the new handler in Firefox URL bar by typing
"evince:///testing".
4. See error pop-up: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address
because the protocol (evince) isn't associated with any program"
