How can I download a webcal:\\ file?

more options

Facebook offers a link to download an ical file of friend's birthdays. It looks like this... webcal://www.facebook.com/ical/b.php?uid=12345678&key=98765432 When I click on the link Firefox says "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (webcal) isn't associated with any program." I went into Tools/Options/Applications but there is no way to add an app to tell it to download. Any thoughts?

replace the "webcal" with "http" and firefox will offer you the download of an ics file...

But: this works for user-calendars only, there are still problems if you use facebook as a page...
