Firefox on Linux does not have a built in telnet:// handler, which is bothersome to me. You can add your own external command to handle unregistered protocols using the about:config page, but Firefox on Linux won't accept any arguments to commands there. This is also bothersome to me. Anyway - if you use Firefox on Linux often, and have a need to follow telnet:// links often, here's one solution. In about:config, right click and add a new string value. Name the string: network.protocol-handler.app.telnet And set the value of the string to: /usr/local/bin/moz-telnet.sh Now write /usr/local/bin/moz-telnet.sh: #!/bin/bash address=`echo $1 | cut -d / -f 3` konsole -e telnet ${address} make /usr/local/bin/moz-telnet.sh executeable for everyone and you're in business. Note 1) I'm using KDE, so I put konsole into the script. You can use xterm, gnome-terminal, a gui telnet client, whatever in there. Note 2) I'm fighting Outlook's spell check so beware capitalizations where they should not be and "k" changed to "c" - I think it's good now, but no guarantees Outlook won't "fix" it when I hit send.
