Adding a New Protocol

To add a new protocol -- e.g. wooz:// -- you add the following entries to about:config:

network.protocol-handler.app.<protocol> = /usr/share/bin
network.protocol-handler.expose.<protocol> = false
network.protocol-handler.external.<protocol> = true

...where in this case <protocol> would be wooz.

The value of the first line may be arbitrary, as Firefox will let you browse for the executable to use when handling a link.

(To add an item to about:config, search for it. The UI will give you the option to add or modify. [1])

Protocol handlers appear in Settings (about:preferences) under "Applications", and can be edited or deleted from there.
