Or, of course "Firefox 3.5 specific (works without installed Gnome
libraries)".  Worked fine for me (dwm), just one thing that is IIRC
not mentioned on Worg: You have to click on protocol link to set path
to emacsclient.  E.g.

cat >> /tmp/test.html
<a href="org-protocol:///>click</a>
^D

and open /tmp/test.html in Firefox.

HTH,
