Any way to use Google Calendar instead?

We just posted an article on how to use Gmail for MailTo links:

I’m sure a similar technique could be used to make Google calendar the handler for webcal links, but you would need to know the URL used for previewing a calendar.

I haven’t tested either of the latter two, I just figured I’d look for addons, because that’s what you do when you say, “I wish Firefox could…”.

Thanks for those extensions. It’s always nice to see what Firefox is capable of doing.

Ahhh, didn’t think about that. I think it is possible, but it would require digging into the about:config. I’ll have to look into that.

but i ran into some

with links webcal://abc.xx it works perfect but
the links [abc.ics] , firefox does not recognise
and ask me if i want to open it with notepad

..any ideas ?
