Bug#587050: broken handling of ed2k:// links

[Jim Smite]

Package: iceweasel
Severity: normal
Version: 3.5.9-3

It seems handling of ed2k links is broken now. Clicking on an ed2k:// URL results in Iceweasel complaining that no handler has been defined for this protocol (and giving no choice to define one).

I followed instructions in:

http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/Ed2k_links_handling#System-wide_configuration

to fix this, and rewrote /usr/share/iceweasel/defaults/syspref/ed2k.js as follows:

pref("network.protocol-handler.app.ed2k", "/usr/bin/ed2k");
pref("network.protocol-handler.external.ed2k", true);
pref("network.protocol-handler.expose.ed2k", false);

which solved the problem (now I'm able to manually select /usr/bin/ed2k as handler).
