how to register irc protocol to firefox browser
the question in the subject
thanks in advance |
Hi.
Go to about:config in Firefox, then right-click, and select New -> String When it asks you for the Preference name, put in: network.protocol-handler.external.irc Then when it asks you for the string value, put in the name of the application you want to handle irc. Close Firefox, then re-open and click on an irc link. You'll get a sort of security alert (I can't remember what it says exactly, but it's fairly self explanitory). Once that's done, you should be good to go. Dave |
hi there
I did everything u told me do, but no luck at first i put xchat as the application then /usr/bin/xchat same problem |
thats because its a boolean
add new Boolean than add what he said network.protocol-handler.external.irc then ok then "true" ok restart firefox done |
Oops.
That should have read: New -> string: network.protocol-handler.app.irc <name of app> Dave |
thanks a lot it work :)

Hello there, I have tried everything outline above to little effect.. I still get irc is not a registered protocol when I try to click irc:// links ... The only thing I can think of is I'm putting the wrong value in for the string part, but I've tried both mirc and it's actual location on the hard drive and still nothing.. do I have to have both of the above mention lines added, the boolean and the string? Thanks in advance,

likely, thats all fine and dandy.
but,how would one make it open link in a new server tab though, rather than start a new instance of xchat? |
