xdgurl
Has anyone figured out how to make Firefox 45.4.0 on CentOS 6 use xdgurl
to handle xdg:// URLs?
Google is full of suggestions that don't work. When I select a an
xdg:// link I don't get a dialog asking me what to do like Google says I
will. Instead I get a message that says Firefox doesn't have a clue how
to handle this URL. Do you want to try again?
I tried about:config

...entOS 6, using Gnome) with
Firefox 45:
1. Create the file $HOME/.local/share/applications/xdg containing
[Desktop Entry]
Name=xdg
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/bin/xdgurl %U
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/xdg;
NoDisplay=true
Then run:
desktop-file-install $HOME/.local/share/applications/xdgdesktop \
--rebuild-mime-info-cache --dir=$HOME/.local/share/applications
Start firefox and browse to a xdg:// URL - it still prompts for the
application use the first time - but after that, it should work OK
Note: I haven't actually done this for an 'xdg' protocol handler - but
it works...
