i tried your instructions. thank you very much for spelling
it out so explicitly for me.
unfortunately, they don't work.
i am using debian jessie firefox. i put the desktop file as
you stated, and added the bookmark as you stated.
then i tested it on the gmail tab with nothing selected. it
went to a new location in firefox (i expected it to do
nothing in firefox). this new location is like this in the
url bar:
javascript:"org-protocol://capture?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2Fu%2F0%2Fh%2Fhtsxxrphy06a%2F%3F%26&title=Gmail
- Inbox&body="
and the tab contents has a grey background and like this text:
"org-protocol://capture?url=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/htsxxrphy06a/?&&title=Gmail
- Inbox&body=
if i hit the back button in firefox i get gmail again.
as for emacs, it has a new buffer that is visiting like this
file:
/home/samuel/org-protocol:/capture?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2Fu%2F0%2Fh%2Fhtsxxrphy06a%2F%3F%26&title=Gmail%20-%20Inbox&body=
the value of org-protocol-default-template-key is nil. so i
tried changing it to "p" and "L" which have templates.
then i tried it on another site with a selection. it popped
up emacs (i do not want this and my templates are set to
immediately finish) and said:
Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents
When done with a buffer, type C-x #
it also created a blank buffer visiting a file.
then i tried it on a few other sites, and got similar
results, but sometimes with slight differences.
so i am still lost.

i have installed that extension. it fails most of the time, just like
the 2 bookmarks i tried fail most of the time. when it stops working
it really stops working. when it is working, it's maybe 50%. but
sometimes it has runs of working.
