You have to type about:config in the URL-bar.
For each protocol you want to launch an external app there have to be two entries:
| Code: | network.protocol-handler.app.[protocol] (String)
network.protocol-handler.external.[protocol] (Boolean) |
So if you want firefox to open irc:// links with xchat you would create the following:
| Code: | network.protocol-handler.app.irc (/usr/bin/xchat)
network.protocol-handler.external.irc (true) |
EDIT: Just saw that this is also part of the gentoo-wiki. |

Hmm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you here because I don't use gaim...
That's what google found: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-28620.html
| Quote: | 1) In gaim, click Tools->Preferences->Plugins & click the check box next to "Remote Control" (You may need to restart gaim)
2) In Firefox, type about:config in the location bar. Then right click in the list, and select New->String. In the box that pops up, type network.protocol-handler.app.aim & click OK
3) In the second box that pops up, type gaim-remote uri %r |
