Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Ubuntu 7.10
package version 3.0~b3~
I have used "Places > Connect To Server..." into add several "FTP (with login)" servers. Before installing firefox-3.0, clicking these items opened Nautilus. After installing firefox-3.0, clicking these items in the GNOME Places menu opens Firefox.
Opening Nautilus by any method and double-clicking the servers in the "Places" sidebar works as before. Opening "network:///" in Nautilus and double-clicking the server in the main window works as before.
I also notice that typing "gnome-open ftp://example.

Still experiencing this after upgrading to 8.04 and firefox 3.0~b5+ nobinonly- 0ubuntu3. In addition, clicking http:// and https:// URLs in Tomboy, Pidgin and other applications produces no result or "There was an error launching the default action command associated location".
It seems that when I installed the 3.0~b3 or ~b4 package, some configuration keys had been created:
khaeru@ khaeru- desktop: ~$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/ gnome/url- handlers/ ftp firefox- 3.0-3.0b4/ firefox- 3.0 "%s"
needs_terminal = false
command = /usr/lib/
enabled = true
... with similar results for /chrome, /http and /https
Another user who had not installed the 3.0~b packages before upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 reports that the /ftp and /chrome gconf directories don't exist, and that /http/command and /https/command are both (firefox "%s") (without parentheses). When I manually modified the gconf entries to match his configuration, the bug disappeared (i.e. Places menu FTP entries / gnome-open FTP URLs open in Nautilus; HTTP[S] URLs are clickable in Pidgin/ Tomboy/ etc.).
