Build ID: 20120410121533

Steps to reproduce:

irc://irc.mozilla.net/firefox


Actual results:


The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (irc) isn't associated with any program
--
* you might need to install other software to open this address.

[Try Again]


Expected results:

$ grep irc /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
x-scheme-handler/irc=xchat.desktop;
x-scheme-handler/ircs=xchat.desktop;

set while working on bug 748643

also /usr/share/gconf/schemas/apps_xchat_url_handler.schemas exists and is pasted in said bug.

-----
External handler support seems important even for mobile targeted stuff. (even more important cause copy-paste can be harder)
