Firefox/Seamonkey? Opera?

Is there/will there be a way to set up non-IE browsers to support steam:// links?

They do already, don't they? --Koraktor

Can't use steam:// anymore

Apparently since 30/5 update, i'm not able to use a "steam://" based functions such as adding media or the support function.[1]--RP 18:32, 1 Jun 2006 (PDT)

Didn't the May 31st platform update fix it? --TomEdwards 02:28, 2 Jun 2006 (PDT)

Not for me--RP 04:03, 2 Jun 2006 (PDT)

It have always worked here, I suppose it's an bug in Internet Explorer. Does it work in an alternative browser? --dutchmega 04:17, 2 Jun 2006 (PDT)

Don't know, don't have an alternative broswer, but tbh I don't think it's related--RP 10:10, 2 Jun 2006 (PDT)

Well, I've downloaded FF and found out what's the problem! I've moved STEAM to a different drive (from c:\ to d:\), and did everything by the book (moved the entire dir and deleted clientregistry.blob), but apparently when steam:// browser protocol is used, it's still looking for the old steam location (c:\games\steam) instead of d:\games\steam, I'm guessing it can be solved by messing up with the registry, but I don't know how, if someone got a clue...--RP 10:23, 2 Jun 2006 (PDT)

• More info - I've searched in the registry and there are tons of keys of "steam" which seems to be relevent, as in still linking to c:\ such as:

1. Hkey_current_user\software\classes\applications\makepak.exe\shell\open\command Type:REG_SZ,Value Details: "C:\games\Steam\bin\makepak.exe" "%1"
2. Hkey_current_user\software\classes\applications\smp.exe\shell\open\command Type:REG_SZ,Value Details: "C:\games\Steam\bin\smp.exe" "%1"
