160896 - Make integration preferences extensible (non-hard-coded)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Preferences: Backend, defect)

Description

[Aaron Kaluszka]

There has got to be a better way than adding practically duplicate entries to a
multitude of files to add file/protocol integration options.  These should be
read from a file and add-on apps should have the ability to integrate in the
future. Ex: Say a telnet client was developed and needed telnet: registered. 
This is impossible when the code is part of the compiled build.

Is this a dupe of Bug 68406?

Comment 3

[Aaron Kaluszka]

No, not at all.  That bug is talking about registering URIs so Mozilla will
launch particular programs.  This bug is so that Windows will launch Mozilla
components with particular URIs or file extensions.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
