With the following org-remember-template:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-remember-templates
      '(
	;; other templates here
	("protocol" ?w "* %c\n %U\n\n %i" nil bottom nil)
	))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

 Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project
 planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system.

What do you have in your conkerorrc? I'm currently using the setup I put
up on the org-protocol page on Worg:
