[Bug] Clicking magnet links doesn't add torrent with firefox on linux #90

Closed knivey closed 4 years ago

The server I'm using is ruTorrent. The same config I have works fine on my windows machine. On linux i can still add torrents by using the context menu. I do have catch torrent URLs checked. When I click a magnet link nothing at all happens, its like i didn't click anything.

Missing magnet uri handling is often caused by wrong application selection in *Menu* > Options > General > Applications. Protocol handling api is cross platform so there shouldn't be any differences.

Thanks, I simply had to go there and select Use Torrent Control Magnet Handler. Everything works fine now.
