I'd like to use Mozilla rather than Konqueror to view man pages, since Mozilla is my default browser. But if I attempt to view them in Mozilla I get the message "man is not a registered protocol". So how do I register a protocol such as "man"?
What version of Mozilla are you using? I was quite surprised to see what my version 1.7.3 Mozilla did when I entered the URL man:bash. Mozilla opened "yelp" on the BASH manual page. (I've also never seen "yelp" before--I had to use the "About..." menu command to find out the program's name!) But I assume that's not what you want. If you want to view manual pages within Mozilla, you'll need to find or implement a plug-in. I don't see a helper (Edit -> Preferences -> Navigator -> Helper Applications) configured for manual pages, so I gather that this is configured more deeply, somehow. Perhaps it's something included by virtue of this being a GTK2 build?
