1. In the Location bar, type about:config, and press Enter.



2. Right-click anywhere in the grid, choose New, then String.



3. In the "Enter the preference name" prompt, type in "network.protocol-handler.app.dvb" and press OK.



4. In the "Enter string value" prompt, type "/usr/bin/mplayer"



Now open the bookmark manager and create a new link using "dvb://BBC1" as url. If Firefox prompts you to select an application to open that kind of url, browse the /usr/bin/ and select mplayer, even if it is already in the available list. Then try to open this bookmark and see if mplayer opens on BBC1 channel. If it doesn't work, try using just "dvb://" as URL.



Tell me if you succeed and we will proceed to next step.
