Firefox IRC Handler

Registered by Nathan Sprangers

A handler that would open an irc client when an irc link (e.g. irc://irc.freenode.net/ubuntu) is clicked on in Firefox. Most applicable to the support pages on the Ubuntu website which includes links to irc channels which Firefox does not recognize.

Whiteboard

It is already possible to do this in Firefox by changing an about:config setting (see bug 92390 in the Mozilla bugzilla), I think that the only thing that needs to be done is make Gnome IRC aware for this to work properly. See also bug 90533 in LP.
