the app:// protocol is blocked
We have the following website: http://windowsapps.com that uses the app:// protocol to launch apps with our custom software, appWave.
With the latest versions of FireFox when clicking an app:// link in our site with our app installed, nothing happens.
I've reviewed the firefox source code and found OUT that the app protocol is blocked by default now
AppProtocolHandler.prototype = {
classID: Components.ID("{b7ad6144-d344-4687-b2d0-b6b9dce1f07f}"), QueryInterface: XPCOMUtils.generateQI([Ci.nsIProtocolHandler]),
scheme: "app", defaultPort: -1, // Don't allow loading from other protocols, and only from app:// if webapps is granted protocolFlags: Ci.nsIProtocolHandler.URI_NOAUTH | Ci.nsIProtocolHandler.URI_DANGEROUS_TO_LOAD | Ci.nsIProtocolHandler.URI_CROSS_ORIGIN_NEEDS_WEBAPPS_PERM,
getAppInfo: function app_phGetAppInfo(aId) {
if (!this._appInfo[aId]) { this._appInfo[aId] = appsService.getAppInfo(aId); } return this._appInfo[aId]; },
Is there any way that my app can programatically onblock the app protocol?
