None of the question related, solved my problem, first, I don't use windows; second, questions related are from years ago, nad seems outadted, because much of that questions suggest to change the values of network.protocol-handler.external.magnet, but in Iceweasel 29 I can't find anything similar., should I create it? what kind of value is, boolean, string...? I don't have it some clear, or at least in your support is not clear at all.
And this link which is recommended in some relates questions : http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol is broken, at least to me is broken.
so... how may open magnet links in this disspaointing browser?. I don't want to use Chrome/Chromium because they're worse.
I'm using Linux.
Chosen solution
Hello,
I am sorry that you weren't able to find apt help. Now lets try to help you. So you want that when you click a magnet link a torrent application automatically opens and you dont have to copy the magnet link manually? If this is the case follow the steps below or else get back to me and please make me understand something i didn't get. Let's begin :
1. Open Firefox and type in about:config in the Address Bar and hit Enter. 2. Type in enter handler.expose in the search box at the top of the list. 3. right click - New - Boolean 4. Enter the preference name network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet 5. Set its value to false 6. Click on the magnet link and you should see Firefox’s Launch Application Choose Dialog 7. Select your torrent client.
