Hmm. With Ubuntu 11.10 and Firefox that came with it, these steps were not enough. I had Firefox asking for the application to open org-protocol links, and choosing 'org-protocol' did not work, as it had in Natty. However, choosing '/usr/bin/emacsclient' for the application, worked for me. > More serious is the problen that firefox 7.0.1 steadfastly refuses > to set location.href to the URIs required by org-protocol, it throws > rather scary looking exceptions if the result of > encodeURIComponent(location.href) in the URI does not appear after a > question mark.
