I need to associate a protocol ( shh) to an application ( putty). I found a knowledge base article that shows me the commands that I have to execute in order to do so, but it does not tell me where to do it from.

so I need to know where to execute the following command: javascript:navigator.registerProtocolHandler('ssh','http://support.mozilla.com/value=%s','putty');


I found this on the knowledge base article at: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The+protocol+is+not+associated+with+any+program#Associate_the_protocol_with_a_program_in_Firefox

On the Windows platform an application needs to create the correct registry keys to register a protocol. Then Firefox will find it via a registry scan. The other methods are for registering a protocol on other platforms like Linux and Mac.
