Associating Magnet Torrent links with FF 13 - Mageia Linux 64

Hi

I am trying to find a script file or some other way that I can edit that will allow Firefox 13 to download and/or open 'Magnet' links...which are associated with Torrent files.

I had Flash Got installed, but un-installed that as I was told that might be the problem....however, it did not help. I know I can just as easily drag the magnet icons into Vuze, however, I thought I would try and get this to work as well.

This is what I get when I go to download a Magnet:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:A239C19DE19B5C67C6CA6F252D2D8BE428DC5EB3&dn=USS%20Seaviper%202012%20R5%20XviD%20Feel-Free&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ffr33dom.h33t.com%3A3310%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.novalayer.org%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2F10.rarbg.com%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.to%3A2710%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.1337x.org%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fpow7.com%2Fannounce

I know this works as I have seen other postings about it, however, they did not mention how to managed to get it to work.


Tnx

Tim
