I installed firefox 61.0..1 which updated to 61.0.2 I used these commands:

gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/command 'tixati "%s"' gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/enabled true gconftool-2 --set --type=string /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/magnet/need-terminal false

these worked without creating network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet set to false. I reinstalled my operating system (kali linux 2018.2) and installed firefox 61.0.1 from the same .bz2 file that worked just fine. When I installed it this morning, ran the same commands, which worked yesterday, and nothing but this message:

"The address wasn’t understood

Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (magnet) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

You might need to install other software to open this address."

after this message I went to handler.expose and set up as described above. Nothing, same message.

I realize that this question has been asked for older versions and none for 61 or 62. Oh, I set tixati to be default but cannot add magnet or tixati to the applications list in preferences.

This is very annoying

I went and looked at it and tried it, but it seems that my knowledge of python, json to be effective with:

"magnet":{"action":4}

inside "schemes":{}

In ~/.mozilla/firefox/<default_profile>/handlers.json

I can get to handlers.json but don't know how to make the changes needed.

I suggest making a backup of handlers.json just in case. Then if you open the file in a regular text editor, the end might look something like this:

,"itmss":{"action":4,"ask":true}}}

So itmss:// is the last protocol ("scheme") in this example.

What you would need to add according to that article is a comma and then the new instruction for magnet, before the two closing curly braces:

,"itmss":{"action":4,"ask":true},"magnet":{"action":4}}}

I know this is a pain, but I don't understand Linux well enough to provide alternatives.

It doesn't give the error message anymore, but doesn't connect. Maybe now is the time to take it to a linux forum. I appreciate your help, Thank you

So after trying the above fix, which didn't work for me (probably due to my lack of knowledge). This morning I reset firefox added network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet. And it worked. So I'm thinking resetting got something out of the way that kept firefox from recognizing. Magnet links are now handled by tixati as default in applications section of preferences. Working fine now. Don't know if my issue is solved or just fixed itself

Hi, glad you got it working. Would think the Refresh did the job myself ...
