I don't seem to be able to add emacsclient as a handler for
org-capture in firefox 3.6.7. When I click on the bookmark, I simply
get a message telling me that there is no helper app associated with
the file -- with no option to add my own. Anybody know a way to work
around this?

  There was recently a thread that discuessed this:
  
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/27362
  
  Does one of the solutions there solve the problem for you?

      A few weeks ago I had similar problems and gave up of using org-protocol.
      Could you give us a step-by-step procedure?

        Below are the relevant instructions, with the correct changes. I
        modified instructions from this link:
        http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The+protocol+is+not+associated+with+any+program
        
        
        Register the protocol in Firefox
        
        Firefox gets its protocol information from its hidden settings.
        
           1. In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn.  *
           The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may
           appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the
           about:config page.
        
           2. Right-click anywhere in the grid, choose New, then String.
        
           3. In the Enter the preference name prompt, type in
           "network.protocol-handler.app.org-protocol" and press OK.
        
           4. In the Enter string value prompt, type "emacsclient" and press
           OK.
        
        Now that the protocol has been registered, try the link again. You may
        get an External Protocol Request dialog. Click Launch Application. The
        program you chose should now start.
        
            * Make sure that the path you put in the preference is
              correct. Due to a bug in Firefox, entering an incorrect path
              will give you the same error message.
        
        
        Hope this helps,
        
        d.

          For a very, very long time this has not worked on Mac OSX (this may relate to
          the OS and Firefox disagreeing over who handles protocols).  Does anyone know if
          this has finally been fixed?
