It would seem to me to be a Firefox config problem. I've managed to get
it not to launch the download page, and it now tells me "Firefox
doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol
(ymsgr)isn't associated with any program".

How to associate it? Is this something to do with all the variables
that begin 'network.protocol-handler'?
