I'm going to close the bug task for Firefox, please file an upstream bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi if you care about the snap use case, because that's where we track snap-related issues.

Interestingly, in the firefox deb opening webcal:// hyperlinks works OOTB, without any change (after thunderbird has been registered as a handler for them). ** No longer affects: firefox -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960421 Title: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1960421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1960421] Re: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application
I have tested adding a custom protocol handler in Firefox by creating the following entries in about:config : network.protocol-handler.expose.webcal network.protocol-handler.external.webcal network.protocol-handler.warn-external.webcal and I did manage to get a new entry for the webcal protocol, but associating it with an external application (either thunderbird or xdg- open) doesn't work in the firefox snap, because the file dialog that is presented to the user to select an application uses the xdg desktop portal which remaps the path to e.g. /run/user/1000/doc/9a5d9a5e/xdg- open. This needs testing in the firefox deb, with snap confinement out of the way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960421 Title: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1960421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1960421] Re: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application
Well, it does allow xdg-open to open thunderbird when passed a webcal:// URL, but it's not enough to instruct firefox to do the same, apparently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960421 Title: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1960421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1960421] Re: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application
The Thunderbird bug has been fixed. It already supported webcal urls, but had a problem when a webcal url ended with .ics as it did in your case. That problem is gone now. Back to the problem: Firefox should open those URLs with thunderbird. I think that Firefox on Ubuntu should provide the defaults that it does, and not require me to register something. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960421 Title: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1960421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1960421] Re: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application
Have you tried registering a custom protocol handler, as described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/514125/url-protocol-handlers-in-basic- ubuntu-desktop/1023143#1023143 ? I did try to pass e.g. "webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/mozilla.com_dbq84anr9i8tcnmhabatstv5co%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics" to thunderbird on the command line, and it didn't like it (failed to even start). So I doubt there is support for it, at least as a protocol handler. It does seem to know how to import them from within the application though (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1427588). If you want better integration as a protocol handler, I suggest filing a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi#h=dupes|Thunderbird ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #1427588 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1427588 ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1960421 Title: webcal:// URLs do not open calendar application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1960421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
