Suggests using an online service for webcal links instead of evolution

Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Using 3.0b4 in Hardy. Enter an url like webcal:/test into the url bar to see the problem.

When clicking a webcal url into firefox3, it suggests using an online service
even though evolution and its evolution-webcal handler are in the default
install. Since it's associated in /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/webcal, Epiphany
is the only browser that will use it

Shouldn't Firefox ideally know how to read /desktop/gnome/url-handlers for this? This would also fix bug 206274

Using Firefox 67.0 in Ubuntu 19.10 (dev) I see that entering 'webcal://test' in the URL bar does produce a prompt to use evolution. So closing this as being fixed.
