Details
Originally in bug 33282, this is a depends on that bug, which is no a much more general discussion about getting external helper apps schemes to work in Linux. There are probably a lot of aspects of telnet: URL security in that bug that need to be dug out at some point in the future.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: clicking on the URL would bring up a telnet session of some kind. OBSERVED BEHAVIOR: clicking on the URL returns "telnet is not a registered protocol."
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: INVALID → ---

and, why isn't this a dup of 33282?
The security issues are essentially the same as launching a mime helper app. You might look at bug 125505 which has a partial approach to exiting the mozilla environment safely.
1- to catch dupes 2- because it is a depends. 3- because if I have to test areas that are not apparently the same, it is easier to have each behavior described in a separate bug. That allows people to focus on implementing the scheme->application mapping in that bug, and keep the telnet-only drift in this bug.

Doug: why is this won't fix, if it is a depends on a bug that is assigned?

Reopening. This is the bug for implementing a proper helper script or whatever is needed for telnet; see last comments on bug 33282

Moz 1.6 is out and still no way for a normal user (non programmer) to enable telnet:// links. The workaround is to use mozex Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Thanks

The workaround does not work if you are trying to deploy firefox to multiple PCs and users automatically. Will this ever "just work" on a Linux box?
