org-protocol

[Richard Riley]

I'm trying to get FF working with org again -

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php

It says 

,----
|    1. Type "about:config" into the location bar and press enter.
|    2. Click "I'll be careful, I promise!" to continue.
|    3. Right-click on the grid
|    4. Choose "New" -> "String" from the context menu.
|    5. Enter "network.protocol-handler.app.org-protocol" as the properties name.
|    6. Click "OK".
|    7. Leave the value blank.
|    8. Next time you try to open a location "org-protocol://..." FF will ask you for the program to use. Enter the path to emacsclient.
`----

It doesnt prompt me for a program. Is this uptodate or is there a better
step by step guide? 

(I used to have this working but a forced firefox reinstall has
corrupted it).

thanks

r.

Despite having 3.5, the instructions for getting the app registered
didnt work for some reason (iceweasel?). Anyway, the gconftool method
worked.

You can use firefox-protocol.el from
http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/emacs-bookmark-extension/

M-x firefox-protocol-installer-install

Don't know if it work with iceweasel, but i have set many protocols here
in firefox without any failures.

You will find a documentation file bookmark-extensions-documentation.rst.
