It's a real lifesaver and it's freeware.

RCDefaultApp is a nice piece of software, I use it myself. But I don't think that's the issue here. Yojimbo is already set to open both x-yojimbo-item and x-yojimbo URLs.

The problem is that the colon (:) from the Yojimbo specifier (x- yojimbo-item://) is getting removed and "http://"; is prepended onto the URL when the Address Book link is clicked. The malformed URL then gets passed to your default browser, which parses it and finds "x- yojimbo-item" where the domain name should be. I see this with both the Safari 3 beta and with Firefox 2.0.4. It also happens with file URLs (e.g. file:///Users/dennis/test.png").

If you remove the "http://"; from the URL in your browser's address field and add the colon back in after "x-yojimbo-item" or "file", the URL gets passed to the appropriate app and opens as expected.

Because this happens in both Safari and Firefox with multiple URL types, I strongly suspect the root of the problem is with Address Book.
