Title:
  URL handler does not work correctly in Firefox after registering in
  gconf

Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  = Problem =

  Firefox is no associating with URL handlers set within gconf. These
  are typically used for 3rd party applications wishing to associate a
  particular URL type, e.g. "notes:///example" to load Lotus Notes and
  pass the word example to it.

  = Environment =

  * Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise)
  * Firefox 11.0+build1-0ubuntu4

  = Steps to reproduce =

  Reproducible 100%

  1. Register a url handler in gconf (example using evince)

  # sudo gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/evince/command 
'/usr/bin/evince %s' --type String
  # sudo gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/evince/enabled --type 
Boolean true

  2. Load Firefox

  3. Try the new handler in Firefox URL bar by typing
  "evince:///testing".

  4. See error pop-up: "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address
  because the protocol (evince) isn't associated with any program"
