Protocol handlers are a new feature in Firefox 4.0 that allows links like mailto:nobody@mozilla.org to be handled by a webmail application. In order to do that, the site needs to support a special API described on http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web-based_protocol_handlers. For en-US, we're currently shipping with GMail and Yahoo! Mail for mailto:, 30boxes for webcal: and Mibbit for irc: urls, and we're on a ongoing evangelism effort to add more. For Breton, we'd like to do that, too. First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for the language and come up with a good candidates. Michel, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox/Productization>. Following that is a reach out by the evangelism team to try to get the vendor to support protocol handlers. Once that happens, Stas will take over in reviewing the actual implementation, which will need to change the gecko.handlerService.* entries in browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties. Please don't make changes to that file without getting a positive review by Stas or somebody else appointed by Stas/Sethb on a patch for that change upfront.

I haven't found some alternatives to the en-US protocol handlers. To get some ideas, I have looked at the "region.properties" for some other locales but it seems that a lot of them have kept the defaults. Do you think that we can also use them ?
You can use the en-US defaults, or if you like, you can use the French ones. You can see the French versions here: http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/fr/file/default/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties
In fact en-US defaults and the French ones are the same (for the protocol handlers). The region.properties file for breton already include the en-US so it should be ok ?
Yes. Closing this and marking fixed.

Whoops... I spoke to soon. We are asking localizers to remove Bloglines. Can you prepare a patch that removes Bloglines and moves Google to the "0" position? It's a simple change and I will r+ it when you have submitted the patch.

Here is the patch to remove Bloglines from region.properties

Comment on attachment 511468 [details] Patch for region.properties I think we are duplicating work here. Given attachment 511459 [details] in Bug 590113, I have provided a positive review to add Netvibes in place of Bloglines. That should be sufficient and we do not need this patch that removes Bloglines. I will r- this patch and let's resolve this bug as fixed if there are no other changes to the larger region.properties file. Please take a look at the entire region.properties file and see if there are any changes to your protocol handlers that we have not covered. This would include things like mailto:, webcal:, etc. If not, then just close this bug. :) Thanks!

Actually, given that we already discussed this in the comments here, I think I'll just resolve this as fixed.
