Open Sop P2P video links in Firefox

The following is from the Sopcast installation page on Google Code

When you make sure that Sopcast is functional, close it. Here's what I did to open sop:// protocol links automatically in Firefox:

1. In Firefox, in the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.

2. Right-click anywhere in the grid, choose New, then String.

3. In the Enter the preference name prompt, type in network.protocol-handler.app.sop and press OK.

4. In the Enter string value prompt, type sopcast-player and press OK.

5. Try to open sop:// link on your favorite website and you will be presented with dialog box where you can search location of sopcast player. Navigate to ~/usr/bin and point to sopcast-player and click OK.

6. OK out of dialog box and now all sop:// links should open sopcast player automatically.

Please note that parts 5 and 6 were written from memory so some of the wording might be incorrect but it should be pretty intuitive.

Hope this helps, Iakov.
