Question

Is it possible to open an Ubuntu app from HTML?

https://askubuntu.com/a/332389/447970

The given solution is working fine in Chrome and Chromium browsers, but not in Firefox. Is there any setting changes in Firefox?

Answer 1

I was able to find out a solution, its a network.protocol-handler issue. Added an entry in firefox config. as:

network.protocol-handler.external.app;true

now its working fine.

thanks for the support - Jay
