That smells like an upstream bug and doesn't seem to be intended. I'll look into it to solve it. For the intention of using a pref to define the default handler for irc I'd say that shouldn't be done that way. gconf should provide a usable default handler for IRC: wolfi@Hygiea:~> gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/irc/command purple-url-handler "%s" (don't know if pidgin currently works that way but anyway.) Please note that even defining this with gconf doesn't solve the Firefox issue currently because of this bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm currently investigation if there is any way to circumvent the popup with any kind of config but it should work. (It's a bit ugly since it writes "purple-url-handler" what is not very userfriendly but it's found at least) Michael, mozilla-helperapp.patch in xulrunner and I removed the obsolete prefs from firefox-suse-default-prefs.js in MozillaFirefox. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
