Gecko.handlerService.schemes.(protocol).*.name
Background
Firefox 3 allows web pages to register themselves as protocol handlers. This allows, for example, all links starting with mailto: to be sent to a webmail provider, or all links starting with webcal: to be sent to an online calendar site. The information on these registrations is kept in mimeTypes.rdf
A set of preferences exists to “seed” the list of registered content handlers. Information from these preferences is copied into mimeTypes.rdf every time the browser sees a new version of content handlers. This preference is an enumerated preference: all preferences whose names start with gecko.handlerService.schemes. are read to generate the list of handlers. (For example: gecko.handlerService.schemes.webcal.0.name and gecko.handlerService.schemes.webcal.0.uriTemplate describe one handler for the webcal: protocol.)
This preference determines the name for a content handler for a given protocol.
Possible values and their effects
A string containing a descriptive name for a content handler for the protocol specified in the preference name and the URI template specified in the corresponding gecko.handlerService.schemes.(protocol).*.uriTemplate preference.
By default, the following preference and value exist:
- gecko.handlerService.schemes.webcal.0.name
- WebCal Test Handler
