qbittorrent or magnet wont show up in preferences
hello there, I am having some issues with opening up magnet torrents. at first the issue was fire fox did not recognize the url i added the commands in about:config and now it recognizes the magnet url. my issue now is that when i go to open the magnet torrent it prompts me to launch an application, when i go to launch my qbittorrent will not show up in the options.so i went to edit in the browser -> preferences-> applications and there is no option for magnet there either is there a step that i am missing to get this to work?
the commands i used in about:config
type>string network.protocol-handler.app.magnet name> /usr/bin/qbittorrent
type>boolean>network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet false.
there is no problem getting firefox to recognize the magnet, its getting the correct program to show up when asked where to launch, does anyone have any ideas? .
thanks in advance for any help :)

Hello tiffanycc, try to reverse network.protocol-handler.expose-all to False (in about:config) and check it again.
