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.
