Hi there
I am running Firefox on SUSE Linux 9.1 / KDE 3.3.0 and have been trying to get around the "mailto is not a registered protocol" issue and having done various research there is obviously a workaround that uses Mozex.
Firstly I had to presuade Firefox 1.0 that it wanted to download the .xpi file, it didn't tell me the site was blocked from installing software when I used the install extensions option .. it was only when I found the FTP folder and tried to FTP that it told me the site was blocked ... BUG?????
Then when I persuaded Firefox that it was OK really it told me that MOZEX wasn't supported for ver 1.0 ... darn it ..
But hey ... shouldn't mailto handling be a natural part of a production browser .. surely the project couldn't go live with 1.0 with this not working?! and no work-around either ?! .. I can see Konqueror beckoning over the horizon for those Linux / KDE desktop users if such a fundamental item is missing.
OK .. off soapbox ..anybody any ideas on how I can resolve this?
Thanks all ......
Mailto not registered protocol & Mozex & v1.0
